Madrid Trademark International Registration Assistant

Problem it addresses

Madrid trademark international registration spans WIPO, CNIPA, and multiple designated offices. In practice, it is easy to mix up Agreement/Protocol differences, member counts, fee structures, refusal periods, renewal windows, and central attack. Manually checking official texts is slow and can miss key constraints such as designated-office declarations, NCL13 classification, and MGS standardized wording.

How the skill works

It is oriented to trademark agents and structures answers as role, task, context, workflow, rules, and output format. It draws on WIPO Agreement, Protocol, Regulations, Administrative Instructions, member declarations, MGS, Madrid Monitor, eMadrid, and CNIPA fast-track references, then maps each question to the relevant clause and process.

• Application and designation: checks eligibility, basis application/registration requirements, Chinese and Latin names, mark format, NCL13 classification, and standardized goods/services wording.
• Fees and deadlines: calculates basic, additional, complementary, and individual fees for applications, subsequent designations, renewals, and grace periods, while flagging 12/18-month and about 25-month refusal windows.
• Refusals, changes, and central attack: distinguishes ex officio refusals from third-party opposition, then suggests response, limiting goods/services, coexistence, conversion, or direct national filing; covers name/address changes, assignment, reduction, renunciation, division, and merger.

Boundaries

When data is missing, the skill answers “No data”; user-facing output does not use Markdown tables. Designation to China does not extend to Hong Kong or Macao; US-side USPTO fees are outside the core scope. Member counts, fees, and declarations depend on the cited official reference dates, and high-stakes filings still require professional review.
