 Palmer & Dodge: Madrid Protocol Arrives at Last for U.S. Trademark Owners   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Trademark owners considering filing through the Madrid Protocol system should realize that it will at times be necessary to retain a local agent to respond to objections made by national trademark registries and to respond to third-party challenges to the extension of protection for the international registration in a given country.
The Madrid Protocol system may not be the best option for formal trademark protection abroad in many cases, as foreign trademark registries typically allow trademark owners to claim broader goods and services identification language than the U.S., resulting in broader rights.
If you have any questions about the Madrid Protocol and what it means for U.S. trademark owners or foreign trademark owners seeking to protect their marks in the U.S. under the Madrid Protocol system, please contact Andy Anderson (617-239-0223; aanderson@palmerdodge.com) or Pat Concannon (617-239-0419; pconcannon@palmerdodge.com).

 Holland & Bonzagni, P.C. - Madrid Protocol - New System Cuts Costs in International Trademark Protection

The Madrid Protocol offers a kind of one stop shopping with attractive benefits, including reduced paperwork, less bureaucratic hassles, and significant reductions in the time and cost needed for multiple international trademark registrations.
Because the Madrid Protocol is new to the U.S., the benefits and pitfalls are, to a degree, hypothetical.

 Antarctica Treaty Puports to Protect Ocean
The primary goal of the 1959 treaty was to demilitarize Antarctica.
The 1991 Protocol to the Antarctica Treaty of 1959 obligates the Parties to protect the Antarctic environment and the dependent ecosystems by designating Antarctica a "natural reserve." There is no definition of the term "natural reserve" or specific rights or duties resulting from the use of that term.
Unfortunately for the protection of Antarctic resources, the Madrid Protocol is part of the evolution of international environmental law and shares the weaknesses of most treaties: general standards, weak institutional structure, and dependance on sovereign States for enforcement.
