Registration methods

• National procedure
• The Madrid  system  (single application for several countries)
• EUIPO – European trademark  (One application for all EU countries).

Features

National: It is valid only at the territory of registration.
Madrid : It is a very convenient system however the only obstacle is expenses. Because you never know how much cost it takes for provisional refusal, limitations, oppositions. 
EUIPO: The only disadvantage is that if even one country refuses to register, the application is doomed to be refused.
