Trade mark filing is now more affordable in SWITZERLAND
From 1 July 2023, it will cost 450 Swiss francs to file a trade mark with the IPI instead of the previous 550 Swiss francs.
In addition, the fee for protecting an International trade mark in Switzerland for three classes of goods will be reduced by 50 Swiss francs.
The IPI will also offer an ‘e-discount' of CHF 100 from this date onwards for applications submitted electronically. We in ORITI PATENTS file trade marks always electronically.
A trade mark in CH is protected for ten years from its filing date. After that, protection can be renewed indefinitely for ten years at a time.
