Madrid - Electronic Forms for Madrid-Protocol Related Submissions

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

The USPTO’s Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) includes electronic forms for the filing of an application for international registration, subsequent designation, request for transformation, request to note replacement, and response to a notice of irregularity issued by the International Bureau of WIPO.

Paper submissions are also acceptable.  When submitting paper documents, applicants/holders must use the forms provided by the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization.  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.
