Establish the applicant and described filing route
WIPO’s filing notes define the office of origin as the office where your basic mark is applied for or registered and through which the international application is submitted. The basic mark is the home application or registration—not an international registration you must already possess.
You also need entitlement through the relevant nationality, domicile or real and effective industrial/commercial establishment connection. The office of origin may require proof under its domestic law and practice. Cyprus’s preparation page lists a Cypriot natural-person national, a legal person established there or a person with an actual active industrial/commercial establishment there. Establish the actual applicant’s connection; a group address alone is not a decision.
Cyprus describes English MM2 through its Intellectual Property Section, with MM18 for a U.S. designation. Confirm the current submission procedure, basic-mark details and actual applicant. National examination still follows; the international filing is not a granted American right.
Review the statements before signing
The March 2026 WIPO MM18 form includes genuine intent to use, authority to execute for the applicant, and statements based on reasonable inquiry with evidentiary support. It requires the prescribed English declaration without alterations and the mandatory signature/execution details.
If the Cyprus parent owns the basic mark but an American subsidiary will operate, establish the actual applicant and authorised signer, and the facts supporting the statements. The subsidiary’s incorporation does not supply the parent’s declaration facts. Check the sign, goods/services, current fees and examination responsibilities; describe a pending filing accurately in commercial discussions.
Scope
- No applicant’s nexus, mark ownership, genuine intent or filing is approved. Confirm current office submission requirements, fees and U.S. examination for the actual application; WIPO leaves nationality/domicile/establishment interpretation to the relevant domestic law.
Next step
Confirm applicant eligibility and have the authorised signer review the actual MM18 statements and supporting facts before execution.

Detailed rule records (1)
Establish eligibility and the basic-mark route with the Cyprus office. Its application guidance describes English MM2 through the office of origin with MM18 for a U.S. designation. The current March 2026 WIPO MM18 includes bona fide intention, authorized execution and reasonable inquiry/evidence declarations; no applicant can treat that form as a generic unsigned cover sheet.
