[E-trademarks] Registration Certificates for Madrid marks

Tue Sep 30 17:18:01 UTC 2025

From my brief checks, it looks like today's Madrid registrations include the OWNER OF INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION statements.

US Serial Number: 79407187                     US Registration Number: 7963128
From the registration certificate:

OWNER OF INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION 1816727 DATED 08-20-2024, EXPIRES 08-20-2034
SER. NO. 79-407,187, FILED 08-20-2024

US Serial Number: 79402924                        US Registration Number: 7963064
From the registration certificate:

OWNER OF INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION 1806179 DATED 04-23-2024, EXPIRES 04-23-2034
SER. NO. 79-402,924, FILED 04-23-2024

Here's a list of 50 Madrid serial numbers that appear to have registered today (where I only checked the 2 above).

SN:( 79358026 79361756 79379218 79379367 79379494 79379574 79379865 79382130 79383271 79383288 79384091 79386525 79386565 79388292 79396196 79396332 79400118 79401264 79401627 79402027 79402351 79402442 79402478 79402505 79402698 79402924 79403086 79403531 79403552 79403935 79403989 79404095 79404178 79405375 79406282 79406412 79407187 79407242 79407569 79407583 79408454 79408507 79409357 79409405 79409628 79409972 79410009 79410308 79410463 79410696 )

Happy Trademarking,

Katherine and Ken, you inspired a blog article. https://blog.oppedahl.com/uspto-discontinues-recognizing-madrid-protocol-status/ .

It's a recent change.  By my quick checks, Madrid registrations for August 5th like
Reg. No. 7,877,282
Registered Aug. 05, 2025
OWNER OF INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION 1838609 DATED 01-07-2025,
EXPIRES 01-07-2035
SER. NO. 79-416,815, FILED 01-07-2025
include the international registration number, but Madrid registrations for August 12th like
Reg. No. 7,885,743
Registered Aug. 12, 2025
SER. NO. 79-423,985, FILED 12-02-2024
do not include the international registration number. I checked a few registration certificates for August 19th & August 26th also, and those did not include the international registration number.

On the TMEP, the search for "international registration number" only retrieves 3 references, namely

for what that's worth (i.e., I doubt the TMEP states any requirement that international registration numbers must be included on registration certificates, but I don't search the TMEP often).

Subject: Re: [E-trademarks] Registration Certificates for Madrid marks

I did a search "SN:79* AND RD:[2025-09-07 TO 2025-09-28]" and the first four hits all lacked the "owner of international registration" text.  I stopped clicking after seeing it four times in a row.    I imagine a curious person with more energy than me could tinker with that search and maybe work out when the USPTO mistake started.

I suppose one thing to investigate is whether the presence of "owner of international registration" text is actually required by law or rule or TMEP.  If it is not actually required, then I guess this may be simply a cost-cutting measure.

Years ago when the USPTO began publishing patent applications, the pub would list the firm name on the front page.  Then I guess some beancounter noticed that the law did not require this info to be there.  And the USPTO stopped providing that information.  It could be a similar thing here maybe.

Do Registration Certificates for Madrid marks no longer show the International Registration information?  I just received the second or third in which there’s no mention of an International Registration, whereas this is what they used to show something like this:

OWNER OF INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION 1794266 DATED 05-06-2024,

EXPIRES 05-06-2034

I called TAC about 3-4 weeks ago to ask for a reprint of the first one I encountered, and was assured it was a USPTO mistake that would be corrected, but it hasn’t yet been fixed and I’ve since received a few more like it.
