Criticism
Some critics of the dual CTM/national system have expressed doubts particularly with regard to confusion which they consider arises from maintaining two separate trademark registration systems. This is similar to criticism which been directed at the parallel existence of the Madrid Agreement and the Madrid Protocol.
However, others see the dual system as providing an effective solution to EU harmonisation issues which has continued to work well over a period of many years.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
