Filing International Trademark Applications: WIPO Fees and Payments

You pay the following WIPO fees when you apply for an international trademark registration through the Madrid System:

  • Basic fee – 653 CHF for a black and white mark; 903 CHF for a mark in color;
  • Fees for each Madrid System member [PDF] where you seek protection:
    • Standard fees:
      • A “complementary fee” of 100CHF for each member; and
      • A “supplementary fee” of 100 CHF for each class of goods and services over three.
    • Or – in some cases – “individual fees” instead of “standard fees”.

All fees are paid in Swiss francs (CHF).

Check our member profiles under eMadrid for information on possible handling fees at your Office of origin. 

Tips! Some Offices of origin let you pay fees in your local currency. There is a 90% reduction in the basic fee for applications from least developed countries.

Warning: We can only process your application for an international trademark registration once you have paid all necessary fees.
