International trademark registration under the Madrid System
From a Vietnamese basic application, designates many countries in one international application instead of filing separately in each.
Madrid is cheap and tidy, but the international registration depends on the basic mark for five years: if the basic application falls, the international registration falls with it in every designated country. Choosing Madrid over direct filings turns on how solid that basic application is.
