Thailand IP: Trademark · Patent · Copyright
Protect your brand and inventions in Thailand — a first-to-file jurisdiction where speed matters.
Quick Answer
Because Thailand awards trademark rights to the first to file, foreign brands should register before selling in Thailand — otherwise a local squatter can block your imports. We handle search, filing (direct or Madrid Protocol), opposition, and enforcement at the Central IP & International Trade Court. From THB 12,500 per class.

FAQ
- Do I need to register my trademark in Thailand?
- Yes. Thailand follows the 'first-to-file' rule (not first-to-use). Without a Thai registration, a bad-faith local squatter can register your mark and block your imports. We recommend filing before market entry — even if you only sell online.
- How long does registration take?
- Trademark: 12–18 months (formality 3–6 mo, substantive 6–12 mo). Patent (invention): 3–5 years. Petty patent: 6–12 months. Design: 12–18 months. Copyright: 30 days (deposit only).
- Can you file through Madrid Protocol?
- Yes. Thailand joined Madrid in Nov 2017. We can extend your international registration to Thailand or use Thailand as the base for outbound Madrid designations covering 130+ countries.
- Cost?
- Trademark filing 1 class: THB 12,500 all-in (search + filing + publication). Each additional class: THB 5,500. Patent filing: THB 45,000–120,000. Enforcement / opposition: quoted per case.
