The Madrid Protocol is a convenient and cost effective system that offers owner of the trademark the possibility to have their trademark protected in several countries (up to 130 countries*) by filing only one application and submitting a single set of fees. The System allows central management of trademark registrations with effects in various countries by providing a user friendly, expeditious and cost-effective set of procedures for the central filing of trademark application.
The Director General of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in accordance with rule 35(2) (d) of the regulations under the Madrid Protocol has established new amounts, in Swiss francs, of the individual fee that is payable when the Chile is designated in an international application, in a designation subsequent to an international registration and in respect of the renewal of an international registration in which the Chile has been designated.
As from November 02, 2025, the revision in the fee structure would be as under:
| Items | Amount (in Swiss francs i.e. CHF) |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Until November 01, 2025 | To be applicable with effect from November 02, 2025 | ||
| Application or Subsequent Designation | – for each class of goods or services | 251 | 210 |
| Renewal | – for each class of goods or services | 377 | 314 |
The new amount will be payable in the following scenarios:
- When designating Chile in an international application.
- When designating Chile subsequently in an international application.
- When Chile has been designated in an international registration which is renewed on or after November 02, 2025.
