When the record of a mark appears, it is important to clarify his territorial area, so that his awaited functionality is optimized. In consequence, a solicitor has diverse alternatives for the protection: National Mark, Community Mark and/or International Mark. While the National Mark says to the title that they grant the National Offices of Marks in every country, and they will be ruled by specific Laws, the Community Mark is born for the record before the OAMI and spreads to the whole territory of the European Union and, finally, a mark will be able to be an object of a record as International Mark only if already it has been registered in the country of origin. As continuation to the request of a mark in Spain, the opportunity appears to proceed to the amplification of his protection abroad, principally, due to the proportionally much more economic cost, in those countries that at present form a part of the System of Madrid for the International Record of Marks, which is ruled by the Agreement of Madrid relative to the International Record of Marks, of 1891 and by the Protocol relating to the Agreement of Madrid, relatively to the International Record of Marks, which entered in effect on April 1, 1996.
