Why register abroad?
Each year, Icelandic businesses apply for hundreds of intellectual property rights in other countries. Intellectual property rights registered in Iceland are only protected in Iceland. If you are going to sell your products or services in other markets, it may be wise to register your intellectual property abroad. There are various options available, both direct applications in individual countries but also applications that can reach many countries.
