Madrid system is an international trademark registration system, which is bound by two treaties: madrid agreement concerning the international registration of marks signed in 1891 and the relevant protocol of madrid agreement concerning the international registration of marks adopted in 1989.

The latter is established to make the Madrid system more flexible and more adaptable to the domestic legislation of some countries that failed to join the Madrid Agreement.

In addition, the Madrid Protocol opens the door to members of intergovernmental organizations that implement a regional trademark registration system. These two treaties are parallel and independent, but they can be operated together, and their implementation rules came into effect in 1996.

The goal of the two treaties is to simplify administrative procedures for trademark owners, so that they can obtain trademark protection in the required countries in the shortest time and at the lowest cost.

this is the purpose of the Madrid system. There are currently 92 member States.
