EXPLANATORY NOTES
FOR COMPLETION OF OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION FORM MM2
1 This document aims to facilitate the completion of the official application form MM2 for the international registration of trademarks under the Madrid system. The form must be completed legibly, and handwritten forms are not acceptable to the International Bureau of WIPO. If an Office decides to produce its own self-generated version of the official form, such document must include the same content, format and numbering as the official form MM2. The final layout and spacing of self-generated forms may be modified to take account of the particular circumstances (for example, the inclusion, in sequential order, of the particulars of more than one single applicant).
Language of the International Application
2 The international application may be in English, French or Spanish, according to what is prescribed by the Office of origin. That is, the Office of origin is entitled to restrict the choice of the applicant to just one language, or to two languages, or indeed, the Office may permit the applicant to choose between any of the three languages. Thus, the applicant should ascertain from the Office of origin which language or languages must or may be utilized, in advance of the filing of the application through that Office.
3 If the requirements concerning language are not complied with, an international application will not be considered as such and will be returned to the sender.
4 The application form contains two boxes at the top of the first page. The box on the top left side may be used to indicate firstly, the number of additional continuation sheets (for example, if there is a long list of goods and services in item 10 of the form), and secondly, to indicate the number of forms MM17 that may have been sent with the application form. (MM17 is the form that is used to file a claim of seniority in the event that the international application includes a designation of the European Union (see paragraph 104 below)).
APPLICATION FORM
Item 1: Contracting Party whose Office is the Office of Origin
5 The Office of origin is the Office of the Contracting Party through which the applicant derives entitlement to file the international application. It is the Office in which the basic application will have been filed or the basic registration will have been recorded.
6 The name of the State whose Office is the Office of origin should be given in item 1 – for example, “China”. If the Office of origin is the Office of the intergovernmental organization which is the European Union, then the indication “European Union” should be given.
7 If there is more than one applicant, the name of only one Contracting Party should be indicated as the Contracting Party whose Office is the Office of origin. However, each applicant should be eligible or qualify, with respect to that Contracting Party, to file the international application through the Office in question
(see paragraph 14 below).
Item 2: The Applicant
Name
8 Where the applicant is a natural person, the name to be indicated is the family (or principal) name and the given (or secondary) name(s) of the natural person as customarily used by that person and in the order in which they are customarily used. Where the applicant is a legal entity, its full official designation must be given.
