the State Council's Decision on China's Accession to madrid agreement concerning the international registration of marks

(May 25, 1989)

1. Regarding Article 3 bis: The protection obtained through international registration can only be extended to China if the trademark owner specifically applies;

ii. regarding item 4, paragraph 2 of article 14: this protocol is only applicable to trademarks registered after China's entry into force. However, this case does not apply to those who have previously obtained the same and still valid domestic registration in China and can be recognized as international trademarks upon the request of the parties concerned.

after China's accession to the agreement, the state administration for industry and commerce should do a good job in the domestic connection of the implementation of the agreement, and pay attention to the international protection of the trademarks of export commodities registered abroad in China. The notification procedures for joining the agreement shall be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I hope I can help you to adopt it.
