Many of the international trademark<\/a> applications made under the Madrid System in 2011 originated from within the European Union, it has been revealed.<\/p>\n

Figures published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO<\/a>) indicate that the EU Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market was the most active applicant.<\/p>\n

The office filed a total of 5,859 applications last year, up 24.5 per cent on the previous year and accounting for a 13.9 per cent share of the market.<\/p>\n

Germany took second place with 5,000 applications, which translated to an 11.8 per cent share.<\/p>\n

Other EU countries represented in the top ten of the chart include France, Italy, and the Benelux nations – Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

The UK was just outside the top ten, with British businesses, organisations and individuals having made 1,129 filings under the Madrid system in 2011.<\/p>\n

Outside the EU, the US was the most active nation.<\/p>\n

The country took third place in the chart after the EU Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market and Germany, with 4,791 applications and an 11.3 per cent market share.<\/p>\n

Also in the top ten were Switzerland in 5th – not an EU nation despite its location in the heart of Europe – China in 7th, Russia in 9th and Japan in 10th.<\/p>\n

Administered by WIPO, the Madrid system offers a trademark owner the possibility of having a mark protected in up to 85 countries by filing one application, in one language – English, French or Spanish – with one set of fees, in one currency.<\/p>\n

Applicants wishing to use the 85-member Madrid system must apply for a trademark in a relevant national or regional trademark office before seeking international protection.<\/p>\n

The oldest international trademark registration which is still in effect belongs to Swiss watchmaker Longines – this was established in 1893.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
