Foreign Trademark Registrations
The following is not meant to be legal advice.

 

 

A company looking to become global might register its intellectual property ownership in countries outside the United States. 

 

 

The registering of trademarks is helpful for the registering of domain names abroad.  Sometimes domain name registrations require proof of trademark ownership for the use of a name for a site registered.  However, trademark registrations may be costly when a company does not target its markets.

 

In the European Union, there is a community trademark registration that allows a company to register a trademark in all European Union countries at once.  The estimated cost for this registration is $6000.

 

 

Some countries in Europe have developing markets for the introduction of brand names.  These countries include Russia, Ukraine, Norway.  Trademark registrations in these countries cost around $4,000 per country.  

 

 

In Asia countries such as China and Japan, the estimated trademark registration costs are also around $4,000 per country.  Hong Kong is still considered a separate country from China as far as trademark registrations go.  In Hong Kong a registration costs around $4,000 as well.  Though, in Hong Kong there may be common law rights because of former rule by England.
