为什么用马德里体系注册商标?
Why register a trademark under
the Madrid System?
1.统一平台,操作方便
Single user-friendly platform
马德里体系提供集中化的国际商标申请和管理程序,通过马德里体系的eMadrid平台,国际商标注册人可以用一种语言(支持英文、法文或西班牙文)提交一份商标国际注册申请,以一种货币(瑞士法郎)缴纳一套费用,即可同时在多个国家获得商标注册保护。
The Madrid System provides a centralized process for international trademark application and management. Through the eMadrid platform, applicants can file a single application for international trademark registration in one language (English, French, or Spanish), pay one set of fees in one currency (Swiss francs), and obtain protection for their marks in multiple territories simultaneously.
这种集中的商标管理模式适用于有不断海外扩张需求的企业,在企业全球发展和扩张时,能快速在新市场提交商标保护,并且利用统一后台管理和续展。
This centralized trademark management model meets the needs of companies looking to expand their business overseas. As these companies grow and expand globally, they can quickly apply for trademark protection in new markets and use the unified platform to manage and renew their trademarks.
2. 节约时间和经济成本
Time and cost saving
通过马德里体系注册国际商标,注册人无需准备多份国家或地区申请和缴纳多种语言的翻译费用,更省略了在多个国家或地区商标主管机关的繁琐流程,很大程度上减少了企业的时间、经济和精力投入。
By registering an international trademark through the Madrid System, the registrant could avoid preparing multiple national or regional applications and paying for the translations into other languages, while skipping the cumbersome procedures of filing applications with the trademark offices of various countries or regions. This largely reduces the time, costs and efforts for the companies.
3. 广泛的地域覆盖面
Wide geographical coverage
马德里体系在131个国家保护注册人的商标权利。这其中包括绝大多数发达国家以及许多发展中国家和转型国家,以及欧洲联盟和非洲知识产权组织(OAPI)。随着成员数量的持续增长,马德里体系的覆盖范围和影响力也在不断扩大。
The Madrid System protects the trademark rights of registrants in 131 countries. This includes most developed countries, many developing countries, and countries in transition, as well as the European Union and the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI). As the membership of the Madrid System continues to grow, so does its coverage and impact.

第二步:提交国际商标申请
Step 2: Filing an International Trademark Application

Finally, the applicant can pay the fees in Swiss Francs as the single settlement currency to complete the application.
