What is the effect of a registration obtained under the Madrid
Agreement.



The effects of such a registration are:
- The registration of the trade mark in the designated countries of
the Madrid Agreement.
- The International registration date is the date when the
International Bureau in Geneva receives the completed application
and protection starts from the date of international registration.
- The international application is deemed to have the same effect
as a trade mark registered in the designated country following the
filing of an application locally (Article 4 of the Agreement).
- Registration under the Madrid Agreement lasts for 20 years and
is renewable for another 20 years.
