Te popularity of the system grows alongside the participation of new members. Turkish companies generally file applications in nearby countries, especially in Europe, Middle Asia and the Middle East. Te number of contracting parties from the Middle East is not high, but the system is still preferable for member countries because of its benefits. For example, there is no need for legal documents at the application stage of international registrations. Tis speeds up and simplifies the procedures compared to national applications in Middle East countries.
According to the WIPO statistics database dated June 2010, in 2009, applicants from Turkey that filed applications via the Madrid System accounted for 2.1 percent of total international registrations—the 14th highest number of any country. Te Turkish renewals account for just 0.2 percent of the total international renewals, but this can be explained by the relatively recent adoption of the Madrid Protocol in Turkey. And the difference in the percentage of international registrations and renewals clearly demonstrates the increasing demand for the international registration system in Turkey.
