At the international level, you have two options: either you can file a trademark application with the trademark office of each country in which you are seeking protection, or you can use WIPO’s <a href="https://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/">Madrid System.</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion__heading"> <a class="accordion__toggle collapsed" href="#accordion__collapse__02" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion">What rights does trademark registration provide?</a> </div> <div id="accordion__collapse__02" class="accordion__body collapse"> <div class="accordion__inner"> <p>In principle, a trademark registration will confer an exclusive right to the use of the registered trademark.
