How to Register a Trademark Internationally

Contrary to popular belief, there isn’t a way to register a trademark internationally within every country all at once. Each individual nation is its own sovereign and requires its own trademark application to review. So, regardless of how you apply for your trademark on an international scale, every individual country will approve, or refuse, your application based on their local register.

This video goes over the pros and cons of the two ways you can register a trademark internationally.

The first is through the Madrid Protocol, a system that was created by many different countries to make international trademark filings less burdensome. This method allows for a standard application to be filled out and submitted to any country that’s a member of the treaty, without the need for an attorney.

The second way to register a trademark internationally is to hire a local attorney in any individual country you would like rights and having that local attorney file the application for you.
