As a result of modern economic activities, commodities and services are both in wide circulation around the globe. In order to strengthen the protection of trademarks, many international protection organizations and regulations have appeared on the scene. With regard to trademark registration and in addition to “National Registration”, there are two registration methods to get trademark rights, “Multi-National Registration” and “Supra-National Registration”. “Multi-National Registration” can be described as follows: the applicant files his application to the international organization, the international organization next informs those countries which the applicant assigned in his application, then each country examines and decides whether to give trademark rights to the applicant independently, and if so the applicant receives the rights in the country. “Madrid International Registered Trademark” is the representative of “Multi-National Registration”. “Supra-National Registration” can be described as follows: the applicant files his application to the supra-national organization in the region, then this organization examines and decides whether to give trademark rights to the applicant, and if so the applicant receives the rights which have overall effects on every country in the region. “Community Trademark” is the representative of “Supra-National Registration”. The main motives of this article are as follows: first, the great effects of the internationalization development of trademark registration; second, the sparse amount of domestic research studies; third, the need for an applicant in Taiwan to utilize the registration systems nimbly. The chapters of this article are as follows: first, the causes and present circumstances of the internationalization development of trademark registration; second, investigation on “Madrid International Registered Trademark ”; third, research on “Community Trademark”; fourth, analysis on the strategy of utilizing different registration methods, and analysis on the possibility and the soundness of establishing a global, supra-national “World Trademark”; and lastly, suggestions for the future direction of the internationalization development of trademark registration.
