What are “designated countries”?
In an application for international trademark registration, you shall mention the States or organisations in which you wish the trademark to be protected. These States or organisations are members of the so-called “Madrid Union”, i.e. members of the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks of 1891, and/or of the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement, which was passed/voted in in 1989.
After examination, the International trademark will be protected as a national trademark in these designated countries.
