What information is included in an international registration?
The contents of an international registration are specified in Hague Rule 15(2), as referenced in MPEP 2907. According to this rule, an international registration contains:
- All the data contained in the international application, except for certain priority claims
- Any reproduction of the industrial design
- The date of the international registration
- The number of the international registration
- The relevant class of the International Classification, as determined by the International Bureau
Specifically, Hague Rule 15(2) states:
