Preface

When patent and trademark agents handle Madrid International Registration daily, they face numerous procedural steps and tight deadlines, all while needing to align with both WIPO international phase rules and domestic CNIPA requirements. Checking ROMARIN, calculating individual fees, and drafting responses to refusals often require switching back and forth between multiple official websites and internal templates. The madrid-trademark Skill on SkillHub is introduced below: it encapsulates the key points of the entire Madrid System workflow into an Agent-followable SKILL.md structure. It can be invoked via trigger words in a conversation, reducing instances of “forgetting the full workflow, missing declarations, or miscalculating fees.”

Core Functions

The following capabilities are derived from the Skill’s public profile, organized by practical modules to help you determine if you need to install it.

International Phase Application and Post-Procedures

  1. Guidance on international registration applications and related subsequent procedures (including common matters such as modifications, transfers, divisions, and mergers).
  2. Strategies and material organization for handling Provisional Refusals and Oppositions (specific wording and deadlines are subject to the latest rules of WIPO and the designated Contracting Parties).
  3. Key points regarding Renewal and registration maintenance.

Fees and Individual Fees

  • Explanations regarding fee estimation and calculation of individual fees; in practice, this can be cross-verified with official tools such as the WIPO Fee Calculator.
  • Explanations on procedural interconnection regarding Transformation (often referred to as “Central Attack”).
  • Verification of Contracting Party Declarations and Registration Status Searches (practical operations often involve WIPO public search channels like Madrid Monitor).

Domestic Interconnection

  • Explanations on the interconnection with the domestic phase of Madrid cases, such as CNIPA Fast-Track Examination, allowing agents to manage both international and domestic action lists within the same conversation.

Trigger Words

In clients that support Agent Skills, you can invoke this Skill using the following topic words (both Chinese and English work, depending on the client’s matching rules), for example: Madrid, madrid, International Trademark Registration, madrid trademark / protocol / system, International Registration Renewal / Modification / Refusal, Individual Fee, Madrid Monitor, WIPO Fee Calculator, etc.

Installation and Activation

This Skill follows the standard SKILL.md package format. When installing via the official SkillHub CLI, simply install huiningip/madrid-trademark into the skill directory of your corresponding Agent.

Execute in your terminal (replace --agent with the client you are actually using):

npx @skill-hub/cli install huiningip/madrid-trademark --agent cursor

Other common Agent examples (same command, just change --agent):

npx @skill-hub/cli install huiningip/madrid-trademark --agent claude
npx @skill-hub/cli install huiningip/madrid-trademark --agent codex

To apply only to the current project, you can add --project (subject to CLI help documentation):

npx @skill-hub/cli install huiningip/madrid-trademark --agent cursor --project

Global CLI Installation (Optional)

If you have already globally installed @skill-hub/cli, you can replace npx @skill-hub/cli in the commands above with skillhub.

After installation, confirm that madrid-trademark appears in the skill directory within clients like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex CLI, and restart or refresh the Agent to load the SKILL.md. The skill path for each client is determined by the --agent option in the CLI; details are subject to the current documentation of @skill-hub/cli.

Typical Usage

This Skill is primarily conversation-driven and does not involve a separate HTTP service. The typical steps are as follows:

  1. Complete the installation and confirm the Agent has loaded the Skill.
  2. Clearly state the case stage and goals in your task description, including trigger words such as “Madrid International Registration,” “Provisional Refusal,” “Individual Fee,” “Transformation,” “CNIPA Fast-Track Examination,” etc.
  3. Ask the Agent to output the process checklist from the Skill: deadline reminders, to-do steps, Contracting Party declarations or search entries to verify, and precautions for fee calculations.
  4. For content involving statutory deadlines, official fee amounts, or special requirements of designated Contracting Parties, perform a final confirmation based on the current information from WIPO, CNIPA, and the official websites of the designated Offices.

Example Prompt (can be rewritten based on actual cases):

Please organize this according to the Madrid Trademark International Registration Skill: The client has submitted a Madrid application via CNIPA and has received a Provisional Refusal from a Contracting Party. Please list the key points for the response, common deadline verification items, and explain whether the individual fee needs to be re-evaluated.

Applicable Scenarios and Notes

Who is it for

  • Chinese trademark and patent agents and assistants who need to frequently handle cases such as Madrid applications, refusals, renewals, transfers, and divisions/mergers.
  • Corporate legal counsel or brand teams who wish to use structured checklists to self-audit international phase and domestic interconnection actions alongside outsourced agency work.

Usage Notes

  1. Legal Validity: The Skill provides practical workflow and material organization assistance; it does not constitute formal legal advice. Final conclusions should still be made by licensed agents or attorneys.
  2. Variable Information: Fee schedules, Contracting Party declaration requirements, and examination policies are subject to update; Skill output should be verified against Madrid Monitor, the WIPO Fee Calculator, and the latest CNIPA announcements.
  3. Entry Availability: If the SkillHub page indicates the Skill is offline, prioritize checking via the official API address and CLI to see if the package can still be fetched, avoiding the use of outdated local copies.
  4. Client Differences: Different Agents have varying load paths, permissions, and context length limits for Skills. For complex cases, it is recommended to ask questions in segments and attach key facts such as case numbers and international registration numbers.

Conclusion

madrid-trademark consolidates the workflow of Madrid International Trademark Registration—ranging from application, refusal/opposition, renewal/modification to fees, transformation, Contracting Party declarations, status searches, and CNIPA interconnection—into a practical Skill that can be invoked by an Agent. It is suitable for agents to quickly initiate standard processes during case handling conversations.
