International Filing

International Filing

Registering your trademark abroad

In a global market, expanding into international territories can be a strategic step for growth and profitability. Without adequate trademark protection in the destination country, however, a business may face infringement risk, loss of exclusivity, and reputational harm. International filing helps ensure that:

Global Legal Protection

Your trademark is legally protected in multiple countries, helping prevent third parties from using or imitating it.

Added Business Value

Strengthen the value of your IP assets for licensing, franchising, or other international commercial use.

Risk Mitigation

Reduce the likelihood of costly and time-consuming disputes in foreign jurisdictions.

How to file internationally

What is the Madrid Protocol?

Benefits of the Madrid Protocol

Process Efficiency

One application and one language to seek protection across multiple member countries.

Lower Cost

Can reduce overall filing costs compared with separate applications in each country.

Centralized Administration

Changes, renewals, and certain updates can be handled through a central system.
