The First Schedule of the Trademarks Act 1958 introduced different application fee for foreign companies to apply for trademark than local companies, although the protection was similar. The Trademarks Act 2023 removes the different application fee. Article 154 of the Trademarks Act 2023 also provides for the making of regulations to give effect to the Madrid Protocol (Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks) at a domestic level.
