Sakpatenti is the Third Office in the World which has Made Available the Madrid „eFiling“ for International Applications
November 12, 2018
Sakpatenti has joined the WIPO-administered program „eFiling“, by means of which Georgian users will be able to file their international applications electronically, which will simplify for them the procedure of extension of trademarks to the member states of the “Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks”.
It is noteworthy that Georgia is the third member state of WIPO, which will use the electronic system of filing international applications. At present this system is used only by the Intellectual Property Offices of the Benelux Countries and Australia.
The Madrid System is an international tool for trademark protection, on the basis of which, an applicant by means of filing a single application in a single language can protect a trademark in 118 member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Georgia is a member of the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks from 1998.
Madrid „eFiling“ is already available at the following link:
