There are various ways brands can get protection for their trademark:
1- Early registration
A critical first step is to register your trademark as early as possible. You should also take into account the countries where you plan to expand your business, in the coming years. More importantly, you should consider the countries that follow the First to File approach when applying for trademark registration.
2- Leverage the Madrid Protocol
Using the Madrid Protocol, you can obtain trademark protection in several countries with just one application. Once the trademark is granted through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), it is registered and recognized in all the member countries.
3- Proactively monitor the use of trademarks worldwide
It’s important to constantly monitor any kind of trademark infringements to ensure no one is using your trademark in any capacity. However, registering your trademark doesn’t mean your brand will be automatically protected. You will still have to keep a close eye on your products to monitor any possible misuse of your trademark.
