Abstract
India signatory to Madrid Protocol :Six years post ratification of the Madrid Protocol, India enters the international regime of registration of Trademark.By notification dated 8th July 2013, the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act 2010 and the Trade Marks (Amendment) Rules, 2013 came in to force to enable India to accede to the Madrid Protocol for the International Registration of Marks at WIPO, bringing the total number of members of the international trademark system to 90. The Madrid Protocol system is a cost-effective way of obtaining protection in India and in the other 89 other member countries that are party to it. Initially implemented in 1891 with the Madrid Agreement and extended in 1989 to include the Madrid Protocol, the system provides an alternative to a bundle of national applications with all their individual registration requirements and separate fees. Simply put, it offers international protection for domestic trademarks with the filing of one single application.
