Communal Trademark System
ACommunity Trade Mark (CTM) is any trademark which ispending registration or has been registered in the European Unionas a whole (rather than on a national level within the EU).
The CTM system creates a unified trademark registration system inEurope, whereby one registration provides protection in all member
states of the EU. The CTM system is unitary in character.A
lthoughan objection against a CTM application in any member state candefeat the entire application, a CTM registration is enforceable in allmember states.
The CTM system is administered by the Office for Harmonization inthe Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM), which islocated in Alicante, Spain (see also trade mark law of the European
Union).

MadridAgreement (1891), and the Madrid Protocol (1989)
Madrid system offers a trademark owner the possibility to have histrademark protected in several countries by simply filing oneapplication directly with his own national or regional trademark office(members of the Madrid Union available in PDF). An internationalmark so registered is equivalent to an application or a registration ofthe same mark effected directly in each of the countries designatedby the applicant. If the trademark office of a designated country doesnot refuse protection within a specified period, the protection of themark is the same as if it had been registered by that Office. TheMadrid system also simplifies greatly the subsequent managementof the mark, since it is possible to record subsequent changes or torenew the registration through a single procedural step. Furthercountries may be designated subsequently.

features of those procedures, thus making trademarkapplications and the administration of trademarkregistrations in multiple jurisdictions less complex andmore predictable.
The great majority of the provisions of the TLT concern
the procedure before the trademark office which can bedivided into three main phases: application forregistration, changes after registration and renewal.
