What are the main contents of Madrid Agreement on International Registration of Trademarks?
(1) Only nationals of the member countries of this agreement, or those who can enjoy the benefits of this agreement in the state-owned residence of the member countries, or those who do not have a real and effective business office, can apply for international registration of trademarks. At the same time, the applicant must first obtain trademark registration in his own country;

(two) the applicant for the international registration of the same trademark that has been registered in the country shall submit it to the local trademark registration administration department or its agency;

(3) After receiving the application, the International Bureau shall examine it in form, and if it passes, it shall be deemed to have obtained international registration;

(4) After receiving the above documents, the trademark registration authority of the designated country has the right to declare that the trademark cannot be granted protection in its territory within 1 year, and explain the reasons for rejection. Otherwise, the international registration of the trademark will automatically take effect in that country and become the domestic registration of that country;

(5) After five years from the date of international registration, the international registrant will be independent. Otherwise, the protection of international registration still depends on the protection given by the laws of the country where the applicant belongs.
