The most efficient route for multi-market trademark protection is the Madrid System, administered by WIPO. A single international trademark application under the Madrid Protocol can cover up to 130 countries and be filed in one language with a single set of fees. For markets outside the Madrid System, or where a more tailored filing strategy is required, direct national applications are filed with each jurisdiction's IP office.

Trademark registration services may include trademark searches, eligibility checks, application filing, examination support, ownership transfers, and post-registration maintenance.

Businesses register trademarks to protect brand identifiers, support legal recognition of ownership, and reduce the risk of unauthorised use or infringement.

Timelines vary by jurisdiction. Straightforward applications in Singapore and Hong Kong typically take 6 to 12 months to process. China, India and some other markets can take 12 to 24 months depending on examination and opposition periods. Madrid System applications are examined by each designated jurisdiction's IP office individually, so timelines vary across the portfolio.

Businesses can get help with trademark registration by working with a service provider to manage trademark searches, application filing, registration requirements, and ongoing trademark maintenance.

Business licence requirements depend on the jurisdiction, the nature of the commercial activity and the industry sector. Most jurisdictions require a general business registration or trade licence to operate. Regulated industries require additional sector-specific licences.

Yes, Ascentium handles trademark and copyright registration across every market it operates in, coordinating filings through local specialists in each jurisdiction.
