___________________________
* Belgium, Luxembourg and the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Europe have a unified legislation on trademarks and a common Office for the registration of trademarks under that legislation (Benelux Office). Under the Madrid System, protection shall be requested as if they were one country (Benelux). Their designation shall be subject to payment of a single complementary or individual fee.
** The Netherlands Antilles is a territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to which Benelux trademark law does not apply, but which has its own trademark law and its own Office for the registration of trademarks under that law. Protection in respect of the Netherlands Antilles shall be requested through a specific designation under the Protocol, distinct from that of the Benelux.
