What are the differences between Madrid trademark and single country registration? The latest Madrid trademark registration process and materials If China businessmen apply for trademark registration protection in foreign markets, there are usually two ways for China businessmen to apply for foreign trademarks, one is the way of Madrid trademark international registration, and the other is the way of trademark registration in a single country and region.

The difference between the two ways of applying for registration:

1. In terms of applying for registration, a registered trademark in Madrid can specify the protection of multiple parties in one registration application, and the application procedure is relatively simple.

However, in case of rejection or objection, the applicant needs to directly submit the rejection review and objection defense to the trademark authorities of each designated contracting party, and prepare corresponding documents according to the laws and regulations of each designated contracting party, such as providing notarized trademark agency power of attorney. In this case, the procedures may be more complicated than single country registration.

2. Trademark registration in a single country is relatively complicated in terms of provincial registration procedures. Applicants need to know about trademark laws and regulations in various countries and prepare documents for registration according to the requirements of trademark registration in various countries. There are many documents to be prepared and the procedures are cumbersome. However, if a professional agency provides services, the workload of applicants can be greatly reduced.

As for the registration fee of a single country, according to the requirements of national laws, applicants usually need to entrust local agencies of various countries to submit registration applications. In addition to official fees and service fees of domestic agencies, there will also be service fees of foreign agencies.
