International Trademark (Madrid Protocol) support from our Trademark team, handled end-to-end as part of our Intellectual Property practice.
The International Application is prepared and filed within 5 to 7 business days. WIPO registers the international mark and notifies designated countries within 2 to 3 months. Each designated country then has 12 to 18 months to grant or refuse protection. The entire process typically takes 12 to 24 months for registrations to be confirmed across all designated territories.
We make legal and intellectual property filings seamless, secure, and fully transparent. Here is how we handle your assignment from start to finish:
Understand your goals, check eligibility, and draft the filing roadmap.
Collect required records and conduct compliance checks for errors.
Draft and submit applications to the registry within 48 business hours.
Monitor application progress and respond to office actions/objections.
Handover certified registrations and provide post-filing support.
The Madrid Protocol is an international treaty administered by WIPO that allows trademark owners to seek protection in 130+ member countries through a single application filed from their home country. Direct filing requires separate applications with each national trademark office, which is costlier and more complex.
You need either a registered Indian trademark or a pending application as the base. However, if the base Indian application is refused or abandoned within the first 5 years, the international registration may also be affected (central attack dependency).
Yes, you can file a Subsequent Designation at any time to extend protection to additional Madrid Protocol member countries without filing a new application. This is one of the key advantages of the Madrid system.
