Legal protection of a trademark registered in Ukraine extends exclusively to the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, if your business is ready to enter international markets, you must register a trademark in the country (or countries) in which you plan to sell goods (provide services) in the near future.

For example, if you need to enter the EU or Asian market, you need to think in advance about TM registration in the selected countries or regions using the methods listed below.

In general, the following advantages of trademark registration under the Madrid system can be distinguished:

- the application is submitted to the national patent office (in our case - Ukrpatent) for selected countries from the list;

- significant cost savings (the fee for submitting an international application and additional duty for each of the selected countries is paid);

- the application is submitted in one of the convenient languages ​​(English, French, German);

- if necessary, registration can be additionally extended to other selected countries;

- there is no need to involve patent attorneys of foreign countries.

 

By ordering an international trademark registration service from the "Pittak" company, you can be absolutely sure of the correct choice of the international TM registration method and the protection of your business.

 

You can register TM in a foreign country in the following ways:

1) By submitting an application to the national patent office (for example, if it is Poland, then to the UPRP, if it is the USA, then the USPTO);

2) By submitting an application for registration under the Madrid system (in this case, the application is submitted to the International Bureau of WIPO through the national patent office).

 

Please note that submission to the national patent office of an individual country is considered more difficult, as it requires compliance with the applicable laws of the selected country. Moreover, applications for TM registration in this case are submitted to patent offices of countries exclusively through local patent attorneys, which entails additional costs of time and money.

 

Filing an application under the Madrid system of registration of trademarks is considered more appropriate and economical, especially when it comes to registration in 2 or more countries.
