U.S. accession to Madrid System

Now it has been

published officially: The Madrid Protocol will enter into force in respect of the U.S. on November 02, 2003. This will mean that, on the one hand, German applicants will be able to aquire trade mark protection in the U.S. by simply filing a request for an International Registration, and, on the other hand, U.S. applicants will be able to get trade mark protection in Germany without filing a national application there.
