How to Register a Trademark for Worldwide Protection Online

Expanding a brand globally requires international trademark protection across multiple regions.

While no single "global" trademark exists, you can achieve broad international coverage through the Madrid Protocol system, managed by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

With this in mind, here's a streamlined guide to acquiring your worldwide trademark rights using Trademarkia.

But first, why use WIPO's Madrid Protocol?

The Madrid Protocol simplifies international trademark registration by allowing businesses to apply for protection in over 120 countries with a single application.

This reduces the need to register a trademark separately in each country and makes managing renewals easier.

Registering your trademark with Trademarkia

Trademarkia makes filing through the Madrid Protocol accessible and easy, guiding you step-by-step through the process. Here's how it works:

• File a base application: Before applying for international registration, start with a base application in your home country. Our legal team at Trademarkia can help file this initial application successfully, paving the way for your international registrations.
• Select countries for protection: With Trademarkia, you can designate which Madrid Protocol member countries you'd like your trademark protected. Our interface helps you choose regions relevant to your business.
• Submit and manage Your application: Our team submits it through WIPO, allowing you to track its progress. Our system also simplifies managing renewals and modifications as your business grows.

Benefits of using Trademarkia for worldwide registration

Final tips

While the Madrid Protocol covers most major markets, some countries still require a separate trademark application.

Trademarkia can assist with additional filings in non-member countries if needed.

By leveraging Trademarkia and the WIPO's Madrid Protocol, protecting your brand across borders becomes efficient and accessible, giving your business a strong global foundation.
