How to renew a design in WIPO?

In this article you will find information on:
  • When trademark renewal fees are due

  • FAQ related to the renewal process

Due dates

Renewal fees in the WIPO must be paid by certain dates.

In this section you will find a description of how these renewal due dates are calculated, both the very first renewal due date and all subsequent renewal due dates.

If the design was filed at the WIPO, once granted, the first renewal is paid in the fifth year from the filing date.

For example, if the grant date is 2022-01-20, and the filing date is 2020-03-01, the first renewal must be paid by 2025-03-01.

After the first renewal has been paid, all subsequent renewals must be paid every 5 years. The due date should be the month and date corresponding to the filing date.

For example, if the filing date was on November 9, then all subsequent annuities will be due on November 9 every five years.
