An international trademark strategy protects your brand where you actually do business, not just where you filed first. Transnational Matters PLLC files and manages trademarks worldwide and resolves cross-border brand disputes. Because our practice is international by design, foreign filings are our daily work rather than an afterthought.
Madrid Protocol Applications
The Madrid Protocol lets you extend a United States application or registration to more than 100 member countries through a single WIPO filing. We select designations strategically, manage provisional refusals from national offices, and guard against central attack on the base application.
National Filings Through Foreign Counsel
Some markets call for direct national filings, especially where Madrid coverage is weak or local practice demands it. Through our vetted foreign counsel network, we file directly in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, while keeping one point of contact and one bill.
Cross-Border Trademark Disputes
Infringers do not respect borders, and neither do we. Our team coordinates oppositions and infringement actions in multiple countries, fights gray market imports, and records marks with customs authorities to seize counterfeits, working alongside our international trade disputes practice.
Managing a Global Portfolio
Renewals, use requirements, and recordals differ in every jurisdiction. We run docketing for the full portfolio, prune registrations you no longer need, and align new filings with expansion plans. Start with our trademark application process at home, then scale it abroad.
