What Is International IP Consultancy?

International consultancy is the planning of where, through which system and in what order your trademark, patent and design rights will be protected. Because industrial property rights are territorial, filing everywhere is both unnecessary and expensive. A sound strategy weighs your export markets, your production locations, the countries where counterfeiting risk is highest, and your budget.

What the Work Covers

  • Target market analysis and country prioritisation
  • System choice: Madrid Protocol, PCT, Hague System or direct national filing
  • Priority calendar and filing deadlines
  • Pre-filing searches and refusal-risk assessment in target countries
  • Coordination of local attorneys and progress tracking
  • Central management of renewals, assignments and licences

Frequently Asked Questions

For an international trademark application under the Madrid Protocol you need a basic application or registration; your Turkish filing serves that purpose. For patents and designs a national filing is not mandatory, but it is usually preferred because it creates a priority right.

No. International systems centralise the filing process; each country still decides under its own law. Your application may be accepted in one country and refused in another.

For the first five years the international registration depends on the basic application or registration. If the basic mark falls away in whole or in part during that period, the international registration is affected to the same extent. This risk must be factored into the strategy.

There is no general rule. Priority goes to markets where your export volume concentrates, countries where you manufacture or subcontract, your distribution hubs, and regions with high counterfeiting risk.

It varies by country and by right. Trademark timelines range from a few months to about eighteen; patent examination after the national phase can take several years.
