Apply for registration through international organizations and apply for registration through the government of a single country/region.

1. To apply for registration through an international organization, there are usually three ways:

(1) Madrid International Registration (select several or all countries that need protection among the 108 contracting parties) );

(2) EU trademark registration (can be protected in 27 EU countries after registration, and needs to apply for registration as a whole);

(3) African Intellectual Property Organization registration (registration Later, it can be protected in 17 member countries and needs to apply for registration as a whole).

Among them, EU member states and Madrid Contracting Parties can also apply through single-country registration, while member states included in the African Intellectual Property Organization can only protect through the African Intellectual Property Organization, not through single-country registration. Apply.

2. Apply for registration through the government of a single country/region, that is, submit registration applications to the trademark authorities of each country/region where you want to obtain protection.
