The principle of independent trademark rights means that applications for trademark registration filed by nationals of member states in any member state cannot be rejected or the registration invalid on the grounds that they have not been applied for, registered or renewed in their own country. A trademark formally registered in one member country shall be deemed to be independent of trademarks registered in other members, including the applicant's country of origin.
