Seychelles is not a member of the Madrid Union. The Industrial Property Act states at section 3(1) that any person who is a national or is domiciled or has real and effective industrial or commercial establishment in a country which is a party to the Paris Convention or any other treaty that embodies the principle of national treatment to which Seychelles may be a party shall be treated in the same way as Seychellois except requirements that may be explicitly provided for purposes of administrative and judicial procedures. And Section 3 (2) states that any other foreign person that may not be covered under subsection (1) shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of a treaty between Seychelles and the country of the foreign person and in the absence of such a treaty or agreement based on the principle of reciprocity. The industrial Property Act covers both Patent and Trade Marks.
