Jersey becomes an independent designation under the Madrid System from 1 August 2026
From 1 August 2026, Jersey will be an independent designation under WIPO's Madrid System. Until then, designating the United Kingdom in an international trademark application or subsequent designation automatically extended protection to Jersey. WIPO will publish the specific individual fee amounts when available. When designating Jersey, applicants declare that they intend to use the trademark, or permit its use with consent, for the listed goods and services.
