Do you represent a brand owner who wants to establish or maintain a global footprint? Are you interested in learning how the international trademark registration treaty can benefit your client? If so, join us for a free training webinar on the Madrid Protocol, a convenient option for trademark owners worldwide to file one streamlined application to register their trademark in up to 130 countries. The Madrid System makes it possible for applicants to file with a single office, using one currency, and in a single language. In this webinar, experts from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Trademark Examination Policy Office will: 

• Provide an overview of filing outbound applications using the Madrid System
• Discuss common issues that arise during the process
• Showcase the newly updated Madrid Protocol content on USPTO.gov
• Cover additional resources available from the USPTO and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)

This webinar will use a high degree of legal terminology and concepts familiar to experienced trademark professionals, but we encourage trademark filers of all experience levels to attend.
