Abstract
This chapter focuses on the process of registration for trade marks in the United Kingdom, including changes introduced by the UK leaving the EU, as well as international protection. It begins by explaining the procedures and documentation needed in filing trade mark applications at the national and international levels, while outlining the examination process. After considering national registration, the international filing systems established under the Madrid Agreement on the International Registration of Marks of 1891 and the Madrid Protocol of 1989 are described. The chapter concludes by presenting possible avenues through which to acquire trade mark protection.
