After the launch of the new eMadrid portal in September 2025, WIPO has announced that the former eMadrid webpages will be retired on 2 December 2025.

From that date, the legacy pages will no longer be available, and users will be redirected to the new eMadrid environment, which has now become the default interface for Madrid System transactions. A separate standalone “Manage your registrations” page will remain accessible only for urgent matters or when log in to the new eMadrid is not possible.

Users are encouraged to access the new system with their WIPO Account and verify that all their international registrations and pending applications appear in the workbench. To find out more details, please read the official WIPO news here and the new eMadrid FAQ page here.

WIPO’s recent IT updates are part of a broader effort to bring all Madrid System services into a single and up-to-date platform. ECTA - particularly through its WIPO-Link Committee - will continue to follow these changes and collect members’ input and feedback on the new tools, to ensure a balanced transition and monitor alignment with users’ needs.
