E) PERTAINING TO INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS AND REGISTRATIONS UNDER
THE MADRID PROTOCOL
Pre-2004 Circulars
Singapore's Accession to the Madrid Protocol
Singapore acceded to the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the
International Registration of Marks (Madrid Protocol) on 31 July 2000. The Madrid Protocol
came into operation in Singapore on 31 October 2000.
Publication of International Registration Designating Singapore for Opposition
Purposes
International registrations designating Singapore under the Madrid Protocol are treated in
the same manner as Singapore national applications, and are therefore published in the
Trade Marks Journal for opposition purposes before protection is granted. They are
published in a separate section of the Trade Marks Journal titled "International
Registrations filed under the Madrid Protocol Published for Opposition Purposes under the
Trade Marks Act (Cap. 332, 1999 Ed.)". Unlike Singapore national applications, they are not
published according to the class of goods or services, but are published according to the
international registration number.
Request for Recording of Changes in the Name and/or Address of the Holder for
International Registrations Designating Singapore
Such requests must be presented to the International Bureau of the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO) using WIPO's prescribed Form MM9(E). Form TM 26 is not
the relevant form to be used.
Form MM9(E) is available for downloading at www.ipos.gov.sg
