Foreign Trade Mark Application

Contacts

An Italian trade mark naturally offers protection limited to the territorial borders of the State. In order to extend protection abroad, it is necessary to extend the Italian registration application by filing corresponding applications in the countries in which one has an interest in acquiring the right to exclusive use of the mark. Such applications may be filed within 6 months from the filing date of the corresponding Italian registration application, with the possibility of claiming the latter's priority right.

This is possible for countries adhering to the Paris Convention and the W.T.O. (World Trade Organisation), practically all the most industrialised countries. 



The extension in priority allows the filing date of the application for registration object of the extension to be traced back to the filing date of the corresponding Italian application. 




The extension procedure can be carried out individually for each country, or following the unified registration procedures according to the main international conventions on trade marks: the Community Trade Mark and the International Trade Mark.
