Accession to Madrid Protocol Expected


After a long process, this July, the Colombian Congress approved the adoption of the Madrid Protocol by Law No. 1455/2011, which was possible thanks to the strong support of multiple local organizations and particularly the Colombian PTO.

The Protocol won't immediately enter in force, as it still must go through other legislative procedures, which will culminate with the deposit of the instrument of accession with WIPO. Approximately three months after this later event, the Madrid Protocol will be available in the first South American country and is therefore expected soon.
