Protect your UK trademark in other countries
One international application through UKIPO, under the Madrid System, built on your UK trademark. You choose the countries; we prepare it, file it and follow it.
A filing service, not legal advice. We are not UKIPO or WIPO. Each country decides whether to protect your mark; we cannot promise any of them will.
- You have a UK trademark application or registration, or are filing one with us now.
- You sell, or plan to sell, in other countries: the EU, the US, China, Australia, Canada, Switzerland and others.
- You want one application and one renewal date instead of a separate filing in each country.
£299 (about $400 / €360) for up to 3 countries: our fee £249 + UKIPO's handling fee £50 (at cost).
£50 for each extra country, up to 10. More than 10, or a country not on our list: we quote.
WIPO fees are separate and paid by you directly to WIPO by card. They are set in Swiss francs and depend on the countries and classes. We send you the exact amount for your choice. Examples for a black-and-white mark (WIPO fee tables of 24 October 2026; £ at the ECB rate of 10 November 2026, so it moves with the exchange rate):
| Countries | 1 class | 3 classes |
|---|---|---|
| European Union | CHF 1,442 (about £1,309) | CHF 1,634 (about £1,483) |
| EU + United States | CHF 1,902 (about £1,727) | CHF 3,014 (about £2,736) |
| EU + US + China | CHF 2,122 (about £1,926) | CHF 3,454 (about £3,136) |
A colour mark adds CHF 250 to WIPO's basic fee. No VAT is charged on our fees.
- You order, choose the countries and give us your UK application or registration number.
- We check that the mark and the owner match your UK mark, and that the goods and services are the same or narrower.
- We send you WIPO's exact fees. You pay WIPO directly.
- We prepare the international application (UKIPO form MM2) for you to approve, file it with UKIPO and pay UKIPO's £50. A US designation also needs a declaration of intention to use (form MM18), which we prepare.
- UKIPO certifies it and sends it to WIPO. If UKIPO sends it within 2 months, your international filing date is the date UKIPO received it.
- Each country examines it under its own law and has 12 months, or 18 months for some, to accept or raise an objection. We email you at each step.
- It depends on your UK mark for 5 years. If the UK application is refused or the UK mark is cancelled in that time, the international registration falls with it.
- Objections abroad. Answering an objection usually needs a local representative in that country (for example the US, the EU or China). We tell you and quote before anything is done.
- Renewal. The international registration lasts 10 years and is renewed in one go through WIPO.
Do I need a UK trademark first?
Yes. It must be based on a UK application or registration in the same name, for the same mark, with goods and services no broader than the UK one. We can file the UK application and the international one together.
Who do I pay the WIPO fees to?
WIPO, directly, by card. Nothing passes through us. We send you the exact amount for your countries and classes.
Which countries can I choose?
Any Madrid member. Our order form lists the most common: the EU, the US, China, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, India, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Türkiye, Mexico, Singapore and New Zealand. For others, tell us and we quote.
Is it cheaper than filing in each country?
Usually from about 3 countries upwards, because WIPO charges one basic fee (CHF 653) on top of each country's fee. For one or two countries a national filing can cost less.
