This week India has confirmed its accession to the Madrid Protocol for International Registration of Trade Marks at WIPO (Madrid system). The Treaty will come into force in India on 8 July 2013.

See here for a list of all countries who have already signed up to the Madrid system from Albania to Zambia.
