Maximizing Your Trademark Success with ipRenewal’s Direct Filing Services
Trademark protection is essential for businesses looking to safeguard their brand identity. Choosing the right filing approach can significantly impact the success of trademark registration and cost-effectiveness. At ipRenewal, we offer a superior trademark filing service, providing expert guidance and direct filing options at a more affordable rate than the Madrid Protocol. Here’s why this approach benefits businesses like yours:
Why Direct Filing Trumps the Madrid Protocol
Many companies opt for the Madrid Protocol, assuming it simplifies the process by allowing a single application for multiple jurisdictions. However, data from the USPTO’s trademark dashboard shows a lower acceptance rate for Madrid Protocol filings compared to direct filings. The graphic below illustrates the comparative success rates of these filing methods:

This lower acceptance rate is primarily due to differences in the way authorities handle trademark classifications, goods, and services.
Jurisdiction-Specific Challenges
Goods and services listed and accepted by one authority may not be accepted by another. This discrepancy often leads to amendments, additional fees, and delays in approval, particularly under the Madrid Protocol, where one amendment can affect all jurisdictions involved.
At ipRenewal, we understand these challenges and offer a direct filing service that mitigates these risks. Our expert team collaborates with global trademark professionals to ensure that your trademark application complies with the specific requirements of each jurisdiction, significantly improving your chances of approval and avoiding costly amendments and delays.
Affordable Pricing, Higher Success Rates
While the Madrid Protocol is commonly perceived as a cost-saving option, its lower acceptance rate and the potential need for amendments can quickly increase overall costs. ipRenewal offers direct filing services at a price point that’s even lower than what you would typically spend through the Madrid Protocol. Additionally, our all-in-one package includes handling any jurisdiction-specific requirements upfront, saving you both time and money in the long run.
We Handle Amendments, So You Don’t Have To
One of the biggest frustrations in the trademark registration process is dealing with amendments that arise due to conflicting goods or services classifications. At ipRenewal, we take care of these issues on your behalf, ensuring a smooth process. Should any adjustments be necessary, we handle the back-and-forth communication with local authorities, absorbing the complexity and minimizing additional fees.
Conclusion
Choosing ipRenewal for your trademark filing needs ensures a higher likelihood of success and cost savings, compared to filing through the Madrid Protocol. Our direct filing service is not only more affordable but also tailored to meet the requirements of each jurisdiction. We handle the complexities, so you don’t have to, letting you focus on building and growing your brand.
