Tunisia - joining the Madrid Protocol

An announcement from WIPO yesterday (22 July 2013) that the Madrid Protocol (1989) will enter into force, with respect to the Republic of Tunisia, on October 16, 2013.

Full text of the announcement here. An always useful summary on the Afro-IP blog here.

This part of the Empty Quarter likes the Madrid Protocol as it can reduce the cost of filing in multiple countries making protection more affordable for many.


Update 30 July 2013: Information notice No. 26/2013 relating the Accession to the Madrid protocol by Tunisia is now available on the WIPO website here
