Chile and Cape Verde join the Madrid System

Two new countries will soon join the Madrid System.

Indeed, as of July 4, 2022 for Chile and July 6, 2022 for Cape Verde, it will be possible to protect your trademark in these countries via the international procedure governed by the Madrid System.

The Madrid System simplifies the trademark registration process through the filing of a single international trademark application for up to 126 countries, and a centralised management system, where each state examines the application independently from each other, according to their own legislation.

Thanks to the simple and rapid designation procedure provided by the Madrid System, French or foreign companies and trademark owners will be able to apply for protection of their trademarks under the Madrid System when they market or plan to offer their products and services in Chile and in Cape Verde. Jamaica.

will, of course, assist you in this process and remain at your disposal for further information!
