Practitioner’s Guide to the Madrid Agreement and Madrid Protocol is a searchable database of practical information on the local application of both treaties in the member countries covering: 

• practice and procedure in obtaining, maintaining, licensing and enforcing registrations obtained through the Madrid system 
• detailed information about how each jurisdiction treats marks extending to it
• history of the Madrid treaties, use of the system and strategic considerations of whether, and how, to best use the system

Each jurisdiction profile follows a standardized format, with topics organized by subject heading. This format makes it easy to search within a jurisdiction profile or to compare how different jurisdictions treat a particular subject.
