INTERNATIONAL TRADEMARK
When looking to register your international trademark there are several options. To find out further information about international trademarks, please contact us for a recommendation.
Option 1. A single International Trademark application
We are able to make a single trade mark application in a number of countries through an international trademark agreement known as the "Madrid Protocol". A Madrid trademark application can be made in one or more of the 70 countries who are members to the protocol. Australia has been a member of the Madrid Protocol since July 2001 and some of the other members countries include (this is not a complete list):

To find out more about Madrid trade marks contact us at MacMillan Trademarks.
Option 2. Individual trademark registration in other countries
The alternative to a Madrid Protocol application is to file individual applications in each country you are seeking a trademark. For trademarks in countries that are not a member of the Madrid Protocol, this is the only option to obtain a trademark.
Countries not included in the Madrid Protocol include New Zealand and Canada.
There are a range of reasons why individual applications in each country may be beneficial and the requirements and costs of each country are different, so to find out more and receive an idea of costs contact us at MacMillan Trademarks.
Option 3. Community Trade Mark Application
A Community Trademark Application is a single application which covers all countries of the European Union. There are several advantages and disadvantages of filing a Community Trademark.
