How long will my international application last?

Updated by IPOS
International registrations are valid for an initial period of five years. They can be renewed for two additional periods of five years (i.e., a minimum period of protection of 15 years).  Under the Geneva (1999) Act, if the domestic legislation of a party to this Act allows a term of protection of more than 15 years; the international registration may be renewed in respect of that State for additional periods of five years, up to the expiry of the total term of protection allowed for such national registrations.
