Trademark Registration in Foreign Countries By Chinese Nationals and Chinese Enterprises
This process refers to the application in foreign countries for registration of a trademark already registered in China , including international trademark registration covered in ¡°the Madrid Protocol¡± and those not covered under ¡°the Madrid Protocol.¡± Those not covered under the ¡°Madrid Protocol¡± refers to countries that did not participate in the ¡°Madrid Protocol.¡± If the applicant decides to apply in countries that did not participate in the ¡°Madrid Protocol,¡± for example, the Philippines, Canada, Thailand, Middle Eastern countries, etc., the applicant can only go through regular channels. The main difference between these and countries which form part of the ¡°Madrid Protocol¡± is that the former do not usually require that a trademark first be registered in the country of origin before applying in their countries.
