Trade Marks - Registered International Trade Marks |
Procedure for filing and prosecuting an International (Madrid Protocol) Registration:Prior to filing a new Trade Mark Application or commencing use of a Trade Mark, Albright Patents strongly recommend that searches of relevant Trade Mark Registers are conducted for potentially conflicting Trade Marks.
In order to file a Madrid Protocol Registration, the Applicant must have a United Kingdom or Community Trade Mark Application/Registration for the same Trade Mark and corresponding or broader goods/services. This is called a "home" Application or Registration.
