	128th INTA Annual Meeting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Madrid system for the international registration of marks (the Madrid system) established in 1891 functions under the Madrid Agreement (1891), and the Madrid Protocol (1989).
		Thanks to the international procedural mechanism, the Madrid system offers a trademark owner the possibility to have his trademark protected in several countries (Members of the Madrid Union) by simply filing one application directly with his own national or regional trademark office.
		The Madrid system also simplifies greatly the subsequent management of the mark, since it is possible to record subsequent changes or to renew the registration through a single procedural step.

	Madrid system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Madrid system for the international registration of marks, also conveniently known as the Madrid system or simply Madrid, is the primary international system for facilitating the registration of trademarks in multiple jurisdictions around the world.
		The Madrid system provides a centrally administered system of obtaining a bundle of trademark registrations in separate jurisdictions, all of which are based on an "international registration".
		One disadvantage of the Madrid system is that any refusal, withdrawal or cancellation of the basic application or basic registration within five years of the registration date of the international registration will lead to the refusal, withdrawal or cancellation of the international registration to the same extent.

		However, this streamlined system is not without its limitations and companies and their trademark attorneys would be wise to carefully consider these issues in light of their individual trademark protection strategies and budgets prior to adopting the Madrid Protocol approach.
		However, many regions are not yet well represented in the Madrid system, and this may be a significant shortfall of the system at least in the short term.
		The Madrid Protocol does not limit the assignment of the home registration, the international registration, or specific country designations, but any assignment of the international registration, or portions thereof, may only be made to a domiciliary or citizen of a Madrid system country.

	Railway Technology - Madrid Light Rail System
		Madrid has now embraced the concept by constructing its own three-line light rail system, copying the style of other Spanish cities such as Barcelona.
		The tramcar is far from an original idea in Madrid – the first line was built in 1898, but by 1967 the entire system had been dismantled to make way for road traffic and expansion of the metro.
		There are now high ambitions for the system, which is expected to convey 50% of residents from the new areas into the city.

	The Madrid Protocol: When will this European fashion arrive in North America and how does it suit you?
		The Madrid Agreement provides that if the home country registration is successfully attacked during the first 5 years of the term of the international registration, all extensions of protection in the designated countries also cease.
		This year, in the 107th Congress, the bill entitled The Madrid Protocol Implementation Act is H.R. 741, which passed the House of Representatives under suspended rules on March 14, 2001 (CR H889-893) and was referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on March 15, 2001 (S.407).
		In J.M. Samuels, "The Madrid Protocol and Harmonization of Trademark Laws", 10 C.I.P.R. 667 at 669, the author suggests that the negotiations of the Madrid Protocol were for the benefit of 4 EU countries who where not members to the Madrid Agreement (Great Britain, Ireland, Greece and Denmark).

	Morrison & Foerster : Legal Updates & News : Legal Updates : International Trademark Protection Under the Madrid ...
		To file an application under the Madrid Protocol, a trademark owner must first have a national trademark application or registration for the mark at issue in a country that is a member of the treaty.
		The Madrid Protocol's requirement that a Madrid Protocol application be based on a national application or registration may disadvantage trademark owners who choose to base their Madrid Protocol applications on U.S. applications or registrations, as would be common for most U.S. trademark owners.
		It is also possible that the Madrid Protocol application or registration may "collapse" if the U.S. application or registration on which it is based is abandoned or cancelled within five years of the filing date of the Madrid Protocol application or registration.

	[No title]
		The Madrid system of international trademark protection allows trademark owners to register their trademarks (and service marks) in several countries by filing one application in one office in one language.
		The Madrid system, which has been in effect in some form since 1891, is governed by two treaties, the Madrid Agreement [i] and the Madrid Protocol.
		An important feature of the Madrid system is that it is available only to an entity with a real and effective commercial or industrial establishment in, or that is domiciled in or a national of, a country which is a member of the Madrid system.

	Faegre & Benson LLP: U.S. Ratifies the Madrid Protocol: Pros and Cons for Trademark Owners
		The Madrid Protocol provides a simple and economical means of obtaining and maintaining trademark protection in its member countries, by allowing a U.S. trademark owner to file an international application valid in several countries through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
		Because the Madrid System could not be fully effective while lacking so many major industrialized countries, in 1989 the countries that had adopted the Agreement amended it to add the Madrid Protocol.
		The Madrid System also relieves companies of having to file national applications, of dealing with translations from and into foreign languages, and of administering a trademark portfolio on a country by country basis.

		The Madrid Protocol, adopted in 1989, is an international system for the registration of marks.
		The Madrid System for the registration of trademarks is governed by two specific treaties: the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks, first adopted in 1891, and the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement, adopted in 1989.
		Fees under the Madrid Protocol18 are calculated using Swiss francs, and the fees required must be paid in Swiss francs directly to the International Bureau of the WIPO.

		In terms of delivering a working metro system in an urban environment, on budget, and within the tightest possible schedule, it is going to be some time before the rest of the world catches up with, let alone surpasses, the records set in Madrid.
		Madrid Metro extension is budgeted to cost a total of $1,450 million for the 37.5 km and 35 underground stations.

	International Trademark Protection
		The Madrid System is administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)[1] located in Geneva, Switzerland, which is referred to as the International Bureau and is in charge of processing international registrations and receiving all documents relating to the Madrid System.
		The System enables a person or legal entity that is from a member country and that has a trademark application or registration in that member country to file an international trademark application before the International Bureau at the WIPO.
		The Madrid Union[9], the administrative body of the Madrid System, is made up of all the members of the Madrid Agreement and the Protocol.

	Introduction to the Madrid Protocol : International Trademark Registration
		The Madrid Protocol is an international treaty that allows a trademark owner to seek international registration of their trademarks in any of the signatory countries to the Protocol, which include the EU and most of the rest of Europe, Asia and many other countries.
		This system gives a trademark owner the possibility to have his mark protected in several countries by filing one application with a single office, in one language, with one set of fees in one currency.
		The Madrid system also simplifies the subsequent management of the mark in foreign countries, since it is possible to record subsequent changes (such as a change in ownership or a change in the name or address of the holder) or to renew the registration through a single procedural step with the International Bureau.

	CLL Articles - Speech: The Madrid Protocol -- U.S. Perspectives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It is an international trademark filing system that affords trademark owners from member countries the opportunity to file their trademarks simultaneously in all other member countries through a single filing with their home country trademark offices.
		The Madrid Protocol resulted from an effort on the part of WIPO to make it possible for the six members of the European Community that are not part of the Madrid Agreement -- Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Sweden, and Finland -- as well as other countries, to join the Madrid System.
		Under the Madrid Agreement, if the home registration fails in the first five years of the life of an international registration, the international registration and all of the extensions of protection fail along with it.

	INTERNATIONAL TRADEMARK REGISTRATIONS
		The primary advantage of the Madrid Protocol to U.S. trademark owners is that it permits simultaneous registration in up to 57 foreign countries, by way of a single filing through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, in the English language, using U.S. currency, avoiding foreign attorney costs in most cases.
		One drawback of the Madrid Protocol system, compared to obtaining discrete national registrations, is that, during the first five years, the International Registration is dependent upon the underlying U.S. national registration.
		A further drawback of the Madrid Protocol is that the European Union is not a member apart from the individual European countries.

	Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP - US joined the Madrid Protocol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The United States has joined the Madrid Protocol, an international trademark treaty whereby one application filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) can designate as many member countries of the Protocol in which protection is desired and a single registration covering those countries may be obtained.
		Since the Madrid registration is dependent upon the original application, and since the goods and services in most U.S. applications are narrowed during prosecution, Madrid registrations based on U.S. applications will be correspondingly narrowed.
		The European Community Trademark system (CTM) whereby a single registration can be obtained for all members of the European Union, is presently not a member of the Madrid Protocol.

	Madrid Protocols Streamlines European Trademark Registration Process - LegalZoom.com
		The Madrid Protocol was established to address the problems with the Madrid System.
		Under the old Madrid System, a trademark owner had to hold an existing registration in a member jurisdiction before applying for an international one.
		Both the Community Trademark system and the Madrid Protocol allow EU member states to take advantage of huge cost savings and to speed the process of obtaining trademark registrations in multiple countries - a good example of bureaucracy that actually works.

	Duane Morris - The Globalization of Trademark Protection
		Ironically, no Madrid system filings may be submitted in Spanish, limiting the interest of Latin Americans in the system.
		The Madrid system may be used only by an applicant who is a domiciliary or national of a country that is a party to the Madrid Protocol or Agreement, or which has a real and effective industrial or commercial establishment in such a nation.
		The Madrid Agreement and the Madrid Protocol do part ways in certain areas, but because the U.S. is joining only the Madrid Protocol, the remainder of this article will focus on it, or on the areas of overlap.

	Madrid Protocol Roundtable Phone Conference: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Madrid system has in place certain deadlines for the office, the trademark offices, dates by which they have to do something in order for the applicant to receive a filing date that they tried to obtain when they made their filing.
		We're also going to a system of identifying typed marks as standard character drawings; you have to put in a statement that a mark that is presented just in letters and in standard characters, that protection is sought as a standard character and that no claim is made to any special typefont or stylization...
		Other countries have not necessarily taken that view in interpretations and have not built that into their laws and the USPTO has provided a provision by which you can request that they note the replacement in their records, but you do not have to note the replacement in order for it to be effective.

	The Hindu : Opinion / Editorials : JOINING THE MADRID SYSTEM
		The Madrid System governing trade marks offers a convenient procedural mechanism similar to what the PCT does in the case of patents; it is quite indispensable in the era of globalisation.
		It should also be remembered that while major legal and policy changes that globalisation brings about are as a rule driven by powerful corporates and developed countries, the systemic changes are simultaneously influenced to an extent by the interests of small and medium scale businesses in the same countries as part of the same process.
		Not surprisingly, the 77-member Madrid System (or Union as it is often called) has been traditionally taken advantage of by European countries where small and medium businesses are engines of innovation and export.

		For example, the San Francisco, California, earthquake of 1906 (magnitude 7.8) was felt 350 miles away in the middle of Nevada, whereas the New Madrid earthquake of December 1811 (magnitude 8.0) rang church bells in Boston, Massachusetts, 1,000 miles away.
		This is shown by two areas affected by earthquakes of similar magnitude-the 1895 Charleston, Missouri, earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone and the 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake.
		Strong earthquakes in the New Madrid seismic zone are certain to occur in the future.

	The Hindu : Opinion / Editorials : Joining the Madrid system
		This is not surprising, considering that the Madrid System (similar to the Patent Cooperation Treaty or PCT in the case of patents) offers a simple and low-cost alternative to filing applications for registration (or renewal) of trademarks in the intellectual property (IP) offices of many countries separately.
		It also needs to be noted that the Madrid System does not prevent trademark owners from routing their application through the IP offices of member-countries other than their own.
		If India does not accede to the system early, Indian businesses may be forced to put in their international applications from the IP offices of third countries by setting up minimal operations prescribed for this purpose.
