Individual Fee Reduction for Turkey Designations under the Madrid System

Release Time：2026-06-05 10:33Author：Views：23

The World Intellectual Property Organization issued an official notice on May 7, 2026, announcing that Turkey has revised its individual fee under the Madrid System. The new fee structure will take effect on June 7, 2026.

Following the implementation of the new fee schedule, the costs for trademark registration, subsequent designation, and renewal in Turkey will be reduced for all contracting parties globally. The fee adjustment details are as follows:

Scope of Application

The effective date of the new fee rules is determined based on the actual date of receipt by the competent Office or the WIPO International Bureau, rather than the date of filing by the applicant. The new fees apply to any of the following scenarios:

1.New international registration applications: International applications designating Turkey where the original Office receives the application on or after June 7, 2026;

2.Subsequent designations: Subsequent designations of Turkey filed by the holder through the competent Office of the contracting party concerned or directly with the WIPO International Bureau on or after June 7, 2026;

3.Trademark renewals: International trademarks that have designated Turkey, where the renewal is processed on or after June 7, 2026.

Notice

Turkey, as a key trade hub between Asia and Europe, is a critical jurisdiction for global brands looking to enter the Middle East and European markets. For market entities planning trademark protection in Turkey, if there is no urgent need to prevent squatting, they may postpone filing relevant applications until after June 7 to benefit from the reduced fees; for existing Madrid trademarks with renewal deadlines approaching, reasonable planning of renewal timing can help save maintenance costs.
