On 17 September WIPO issued Information Notice No. 39/2026: at the request of the Israel trade mark office, the Madrid individual fee for designating Israel changes from 17 October 2026. For an international application or a subsequent designation, the fee for one class rises from CHF 471 to CHF 503 and the fee for each additional class from CHF 354 to CHF 378; for renewal, the fee for one class rises from CHF 840 to CHF 896 and for each additional class from CHF 709 to CHF 757. The new amounts apply to international applications received by the Office of origin on or after 17 October, subsequent designations filed on or after that date and renewals effected on or after that date; until 16 October the old amounts continue to apply.
One practical detail: WIPO's summary page of individual fees under the Madrid Protocol currently shows a last update of 23 August 2026 and still lists Israel at CHF 471 and CHF 354, so it does not yet reflect the notice of 17 September. J&C recommends that applicants designating Israel or renewing registrations that cover Israel around 17 October rely on Notice No. 39/2026 and on the fee calculator on the day of filing rather than on the old rates shown on the summary page; quotes and payments should be set by the date the Office of origin receives the application or the renewal is effected, and subsequent designations or renewals that can be completed by 16 October can still be handled at the old rates.
