An international applicant must pay fees to the USPTO and to the International Bureau. The USPTO charges a fee for certifying international applications and transmitting them to the International Bureau, called a “certification fee.” The certification fee is $100.00 per class if the international application is based on a single U.S. application or registration and filed electronically, or $200 per class if filed on paper. The certification fee is $150.00 per class if the international application is based on more than one U.S. application or registration and filed electronically, or $250 per class if filed on paper.
The International Bureau requires payment of fees based on whether the reproduction of the mark is in black and white and/or in color, the particular Contracting Parties designated in the international application and the number of classes of goods and services indicated in the international application. The schedule of fees, individual fees and International Bureau Fee Calculator are posted on the WIPO web site at: http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/ . The international application fees must be paid directly to the International Bureau in Swiss francs.
