Trademark Management Software for Madrid Protocol Filings

Laid out by jurisdiction and class, a mark's coverage shows where it is registered. A class covered in most countries but missing in one shows up as a gap in that country's row, right beside the jurisdictions where the same class is registered or pending. ArcPrime's trademark management software builds that view from a single trademark family holding a mark's national filings together with its regional and international ones.

ArcPrime is the AI native IP Management System covering the full patent lifecycle in one platform, from invention disclosure to enforcement.

How do you track Madrid designations and national trademark filings together?

One trademark family in ArcPrime holds a mark's Madrid Protocol designations and its national filings together. Each filing names its relationship in plain words, such as a designation of an international registration or a Paris priority claim, with a link to the filing it came from.

When a family grows into new countries, several filings can be opened at once with the family links already in place and with classes and goods copied over from the filing they start from. An international registration can be created together with its first designations.

What does the coverage grid show beyond national filings?

The coverage grid shows a mark's international and regional filings alongside its national ones, with an international registration's designations grouped under it and a regional filing such as an EU trademark read as one entry. Countries that take a separate application for each class read the same way, as the mark's coverage across those classes. The Madrid dependency end date and the Paris priority window are calculated and shown with the filings they apply to.

Which trademark deadlines does ArcPrime track?

ArcPrime tracks response deadlines for office actions and Madrid provisional refusals, along with the end of the opposition period. On US filings it also follows the intent to use chain through the statement of use until the basis changes to use. Because each deadline belongs to a filing inside the family, counsel doing trademark portfolio management in ArcPrime can read the next date due anywhere in a mark's coverage from the mark itself.

How does ArcPrime handle oppositions and other disputes?

Oppositions, cancellations and other proceedings are recorded in ArcPrime against the filing they concern. An opposition against a single designation therefore appears in the same family as the international registration that designation belongs to. Each proceeding also records which side the company is on and its outcome, with the related documents and deadlines attached.
