About

International Trademark Registration

What Is International Trademark Registration?

International trademark registration generally refers to international trademark registration through the Madrid System, and also includes direct trademark applications in individual countries/regions. It is an intellectual property document through which a trademark applicant, based on a home-country trademark basis, submits trademark protection applications to multiple countries in a single filing and obtains trademark law protection in designated countries.

Key distinction: Single-country registration involves filing trademark applications separately in each country; the Madrid international trademark is one set of application documents designating multiple contracting parties, and is a mainstream solution for overseas trademark layout.

Domestic trademark protection is limited to mainland China; international trademark registration addresses overseas brand ownership, infringement enforcement, and cross-border platform onboarding. It is a key supporting intellectual property document for enterprises going global, cross-border e-commerce, and overseas exhibitions.

Why Do Enterprises Need to File for International Trademark Registration?

As domestic enterprises expand overseas and cross-border e-commerce trade continues to rise, many enterprises only have domestic trademark certificates and repeatedly encounter setbacks in overseas market enforcement. Overseas e-commerce platforms, overseas supermarkets, and investment institutions continue to tighten review of brand ownership materials. A domestic trademark certificate alone can no longer meet business requirements such as overseas platform onboarding, customs recordal, infringement complaints, and brand licensing, making it easy for problems to arise such as brand squatting, product delisting, store suspension, and overseas infringement litigation.

Filing for international trademark registration can help enterprises with:

Cross-border e-commerce platform onboarding (Amazon, independent websites, Shopee, etc.)
Overseas brand enforcement, combating trademark squatting, and counterfeit complaints
Overseas customs intellectual property recordal to intercept infringing goods
Overseas brand franchising, licensing, and investment/financing due diligence
Overseas exhibitions and localized brand marketing
Building supporting brand assets for overseas companies

Which Enterprises Are Involved in International Trademark Registration?

Domestic enterprises engaged in cross-border e-commerce with products sold to overseas markets such as Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia
Brand enterprises planning to expand overseas offline channels and overseas recruitment
Enterprises that already have domestic trademarks and are concerned about their brands being squatted overseas
Enterprises that need overseas trademarks for brand licensing and asset financing
Enterprises participating in overseas exhibitions and overseas brand promotion
Manufacturing and trading enterprises that export products and need overseas customs protection for their brands

International Trademark Registration ≠ Domestic Trademark Registration | It Is Not Automatic Global Protection

Many enterprises have misconceptions: that registering a domestic trademark automatically protects the brand worldwide; or that registering a Madrid international trademark means automatic protection in all countries globally.

02 Select registration solution: Madrid international registration / single-country trademark application
03 Submit international trademark application, examination by trademark offices of various countries
04 Trademark approved and registered, issuance of corresponding country trademark certificates

Frequently Asked Questions

Can domestic trademark agents directly submit trademark applications for all countries?

No. For single-country trademark applications, the trademark offices of most countries mandate submission by a locally licensed trademark agency in that country. Domestic agents cannot directly submit single-country trademark applications to overseas trademark offices; Madrid international registrations can be submitted by domestic agents, but during the examination stage of subsequently designated countries, local agents may still be required to assist in responding to examination opinions.

How long does international trademark registration take?

Madrid international trademark: it takes about 2-4 weeks for the basic application to issue a filing receipt; the examination period varies by designated country, usually 12-18 months; single-country differences are significant, with EU trademarks taking about 4-6 months, US trademarks 8-12 months, and Southeast Asian countries ranging from 6-10 months.

Can international trademark registration be used for brand registry on overseas e-commerce platforms?

Yes. As long as the trademark is a valid registered trademark in the corresponding target country and the trademark applicant entity matches the store entity, it can be used for brand registry on cross-border platforms such as Amazon and AliExpress, for A+ pages and infringement complaints. After approval in the designated country, a Madrid international trademark has the same effect as a local trademark in that country.

If the equity of the trademark company changes, does the trademark need to be re-registered?

No re-registration is required. If only the equity changes and the trademark owner's name remains unchanged, the trademark ownership remains unchanged; if the company changes its name or the trademark is assigned to another entity, trademark assignment or change procedures need to be handled.

After an international trademark has been successfully registered, does it still need maintenance?

Yes. A trademark is not permanently valid after registration. In most countries, a trademark is valid for 10 years, and renewal must be handled before expiration; if the entity name or address changes during this period, a trademark change is required; it is also necessary to continuously monitor similar trademarks of others and file oppositions when necessary. If the trademark is not used for consecutive years, it may also face the risk of revocation for non-use.
