About this statute

Countries covered by the Agreement form a Special Union, and nationals of contracting countries may seek international protection for registered marks by filing through their country-of-origin office. Certain persons in the Union who meet the Paris Convention Article 3 conditions are to be treated the same as nationals for industrial property protection. International trademark applications must use the prescribed form, identify the goods or services, and follow the listed certification, classification, registration, and publication steps. A contracting country may notify the Director General in writing that international trademark protection will extend to that country only if the trademark owner expressly requests it. Requests to extend trademark protection territorially must go through the country of origin’s Office, and designated Offices may refuse protection on limited grounds.
