1. application path

1. Single-country registration: Trademarks registered in this way, like names, can only be used locally in the Netherlands. Its feature is that it can be applied at any time according to actual needs. 2. Through the EU trademark registration: As the Netherlands is one of the EU member states, the EU trademark also applies to the Netherlands. However, because the EU trademark registration involves the normal use of all its member countries, it is difficult to register and takes a long time to register. 3. International trademark registration through Madrid: Currently, the Netherlands is also a member of the Madrid Agreement. The Netherlands can also be selected as one of the places of use of the trademark through the Madrid International Trademark Registration. However, due to the cost of trademark registration in Madrid and the problems of the submission process, the fewer overseas regions to apply for trademark registration, the less cost-effective.
