Trademarks > Madrid Protocol > Electronic Forms for Madrid-Protocol Related Submissions

ELECTRONIC FORMS FOR SUBMITTING MADRID-PROTOCOL RELATED DOCUMENTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

On November 1, 2004, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) deployed electronic forms for the filing of an application for international registration, subsequent designation, and response to a notice of irregularity. These forms can be accessed from http://teasi.uspto.gov/.

However, Madrid paper filings are also still acceptable. When submitting paper documents, applicants/holders should use the forms provided by the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization. These forms are available at the IB web site at http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/. These forms can be completed online, printed, and then mailed or hand delivered to the USPTO. Please note that the IB will not accept an international application or subsequent designation that does not appear on an IB form.

International applications submitted on paper must be accompanied by the USPTO certification fee, and subsequent designations submitted on paper must be accompanied by the USPTO transmittal fee. However, these submissions should not include the international fees that are charged by the IB. Instead, those fees should be sent directly to the IB.

All Madrid-related documents should be mailed to the USPTO at the following address:

Madrid Processing Unit
600 Dulany Street, MDE-7B87
Alexandria, VA 22314-5793

This address should be used only for Madrid-related documents. Any other trademark-related documents that are mailed to this address will not be accepted, and will be returned to the sender.

Applicants who wish to hand deliver Madrid-related documents to the USPTO should submit these documents to the Trademark Assistance Center, which is located at:

James Madison Building - East Wing
Concourse Level
600 Dulany Street
Alexandria, Virginia

The Trademark Assistance Center is open from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on all weekdays, except holidays.
