The Trade Marks (International Registration) Order 2008
This Order modernises and replaces The Trade Marks (International Registration) Order 1996 (SI 1996 No 714 as amended) (“the Order”). The Order is made under powers conferred by section 54 of the Trade Mark Act 1994 “TMA”) and gives effect in the UK to the provisions of the Madrid Protocol, which is the system by which trade marks can be registered internationally and subsequently protected in the holder’s choice of designated states or territories.
