International Registrations under the Madrid System are renewed through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Renewal must be filed directly with WIPO to maintain protection in the designated Contracting Parties. National and regional trademark offices do not handle renewal of International Registrations. WIPO records the renewal in the International Register and maintains the validity of the registration.
Protection under an International Registration is granted for a 10-year period counted from the international registration date. Each renewal extends protection for an additional 10 years.
Renewal may be requested within the 6 months before the expiration date of the International Registration.
The Madrid System also provides a 6-month grace period after expiry. If renewal is filed during this grace period, an additional surcharge applies. If renewal is not completed by the end of the grace period, the International Registration will expire.
For example, if the international registration date is 2020-04-16, the first renewal can be requested from 2029-10-16 to 2030-04-16.
If missed, renewal may still be filed during the grace period up to 2030-10-16.
Once renewed, the next renewal will be due by 2040-04-16, and so on for every subsequent 10-year period.

Official WIPO renewal fees include a basic fee and additional fees depending on the designated Madrid System members and the number of classes.
Individual fees are set by each designated Madrid System member and replace the complementary fee for those members.
Complementary fees apply for each designated Contracting Party for which an individual fee is not payable.
A supplementary fee is payable for each class beyond three only where complementary fees are payable.
The first renewal is due at the end of the initial registration term, which is 10 years from the international registration date. Renewal may be requested within the 6 months before expiry. If this window is missed, the Madrid System provides a 6-month grace period after expiry to renew with a surcharge. If renewal is not completed by the end of the grace period, the International Registration will expire.
Yes. If you miss the standard renewal window, the Madrid System allows international trademark renewal during a 6-month grace period after the expiration date. A surcharge of 50% of the basic renewal fee applies. If renewal is not completed during the grace period, the International Registration will expire.
An International Registration is valid for 10 years from the registration date. Each successful renewal extends protection for another 10 years. There is no limit to the number of times an International Registration may be renewed, provided renewal fees are paid.
The renewal of an International Registration does not require proof of use. Renewal is completed by submitting the renewal request and paying the required fees to WIPO. However, designated Contracting Parties may apply their own national laws regarding non-use and cancellation independently of the renewal process.
