Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum requirement to file a Madrid Protocol application from India?
You must have an active Indian trademark registration or a pending application. The international application is built on this 'base mark'.
How much does international trademark registration cost?
WIPO charges a basic fee of CHF 653 for a black & white mark + CHF 100 per designated country (Annex fees vary). The Indian Office charges ₹9,000 + ₹300 per class. Professional fees are additional.
Can I add more countries later?
Yes. Subsequent designations (adding more countries after the initial filing) can be made at any time while the international registration is in force, by paying the applicable fees.
What happens if my Indian base mark is cancelled?
During the first 5 years, the international registration is dependent on the base mark. If the Indian registration is cancelled, the international registration falls. After 5 years, it becomes independent.
