FAQs – Trademark
Do I need to file an application in every country?
While trademarks are mostly registered on a country by country basis, there are a number of mechanisms to file one application for numerous countries. Your trademark attorney can give you more specifics on the 27 cooperating countries of Europe (excluding Switzerland) for the filing of one Community Trade Mark ("CTM") Application to seek a registration in all these 27 countries. Also, companies that are resident in one of the countries that are signatories to the Madrid Treaty can file one application for protection in an extensive list of countries.
