Talk:Madrid Protocol

Update

According to the IPKat blog [1], this article needs an update! --Edcolins (talk) 21:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

International Registration?

The first section states:

Registration through the Madrid system does not create an 'international' registration, as in the case of the European CTM system, rather it creates a bundle of national rights, able to be administered centrally.

Yet the phrase 'international registration' is consistently used throughout the remainder of the article, vis:

The Madrid system provides a mechanism whereby a trademark owner who has an existing trademark application or registration (known as the 'basic application' or 'basic registration') in a member jurisdiction may obtain an ‘international registration’ for their trademark from the World Intellectual Property Organization.

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. ... Therefore, the protection afforded by the international registration in each designated member jurisdiction will only extend to 'clothing and footwear'. If the basic application is rejected as a whole, the international registration would also be totally refused.

In 1997, less than half of a percent of international registrations were canceled as a result of central attack.

Please correct this contradiction. --Sroc (talk) 22:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Protocol / System / Agreement?

This article talks about the Madrid Protocol without explaining what that is. Is it the same as the Madrid System? If not, what's different?

Similarly, the Madrid Agreement isn't defined, despite redirecting here. Again, what is the difference?

A better definition and distinction of these three terms would definitely improve this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Streapadair (talk • contribs) 18:00, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
