Summary
Made-to-measure tariffs: describes tariffs that are just high enough to allow domestic producers to cover their costs plus normal profits. Because industries have differing cost structures, this results in a complicated tariff structure as each industry receives tariff support apparently made to measure. Some call them tailor-made tariffs.
Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks: concluded on 14 April 1891 and last revised in Stockholm on 14 July 1967. The Agreement was supplemented in 1989 by the Protocol Relating the Madrid Agreement which entered into force on 1 April 1996. Together they constitute the Madrid Union. The Agreement and the Protocol are separate treaties, and membership of one is possible independent of the other. The Agreement enables nationals of member countries to secure international protection for their marks applicable to goods and services registered in the country of origin by filing them with the International Bureau of Intellectual Property of WIPO. This saves them the expense and the effort of registering in each market separately. The Protocol aims to make this system acceptable to more countries.
Madrid Agreement for the Repression of False or Deceptive Indications of Source on Goods: concluded in Madrid on 14 April 1891 and revised several times, lastly in 1967. It is administered by WIPO. The Agreement provides for the cases and the manner in which seizure may be requested and effected for goods bearing a false or deceptive indication of source.
