U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Warren Tichenor along with other international organizations in Geneva deposited the U.S.’s ratification document on October 1, stating that the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks will allow the signatories to protect their brand labels abroad.

This pact, concluded under the auspices of the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in March 2006, is an update to the 1994 Trademark Law Treaty (TLT) to bring it in line with the technological developments of the past decade.
