Madrid Agreement

Read a random definition: continuing threat of harm

A quick definition of Madrid Agreement:

The Madrid Agreement is a treaty that was created in 1890 to help protect trademarks internationally. This means that if a company registers their trademark in one country, it will be protected in all the other countries that are part of the treaty. The United States joined the treaty in 2002. The treaty also has another purpose, which is to prevent false or misleading information about where a product comes from. This helps to make sure that people know where the things they buy are really made.

A more thorough explanation:

The Madrid Agreement is a treaty that was established in 1890 to create a system for the international registration of trademarks. The official name of the agreement is the Madrid Arrangement Concerning the International Registration of Marks. It was created during the Madrid Revision Conference of the Paris Convention and was last revised in 1967.

Under this treaty, a trademark registered in a member nation that is also registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization receives equal protection in all signatory nations. This registration system is called the Madrid Union. The United States ratified the treaty in 2002.

For example, if a company registers their trademark in the United States and also registers it with the World Intellectual Property Organization, they will receive the same level of protection for their trademark in all other member nations of the Madrid Union.

The Madrid Agreement also includes provisions to prevent false or deceptive indications of source for imported goods. This means that member nations can seize falsely marked imported goods to discourage companies from using false indications of geographic source.

For example, if a company in China falsely marks their products as being made in the United States, the United States can seize those products when they are imported to prevent the company from deceiving consumers about the origin of the products.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
