Grenada has joined the Madrid System. WIPO’s international trademark system now covers 132 countries.
On December 15, 2025, the Government of Grenada deposited its instrument of accession to the Madrid Protocol – the governing Treaty of the Madrid System – with WIPO Director General, Daren Tang.
Grenada is the 116th member of the Madrid System, and the 10th country from Latin America and the Caribbean to join. Its accession further strengthens the Madrid System’s role as a practical and efficient solution for protecting trademarks worldwide.
The Madrid Protocol will enter into force in Grenada on March 15, 2026.
What does this mean for you?
Starting March 15, 2026….
