TM111 tool: Trademark systems in 111 countries

Interactive map

Find trademark proceedings in a particular country or region, neatly divided into the following areas:

• First-to use / First-to-file: This new section is now live, helping you to track where the  'First-to-use' principle is applied, as opposed to the 'First-to-file' principle. 
• International treaty membership (Paris Convention / Madrid Protocol)
• Application requirements (Multi/single class system for goods and services)
• Examination proceedings (Examination of prior marks, distinctiveness, Letters of consent and average handling times).
• Opposition proceedings (Calculation of the opposition period)
• Cancellation proceedings (Calculation of the non-use period, and finding where non-use is handled - by the IPO, in court or elsewhere.)
• Renewal (Calculation of the renewal terms and grace periods)

If you need further information, our team is listed in the Contacts section, and can also be filtered by jurisdiction.
