What is WIPO trademark filing?

Globally recognised trademark filing is done through WIPO’s Madrid application system, which allows persons or country to seek protection of their brand identifier such as a name, logo, slogan, or symbol for their national or regional trademark in up to 130 countries all at once.

WIPO lets applicants file one international application in one language, choosing from English, French, or Spanish, which is valid for use across more than 130 member countries simultaneously.
