Alt Legal WebinarCrossing Your TEASi: Replacing the Platform with Madrid e-Filing
Alt Legal Team | September 24, 2026
TEASi has met its matcha. As of October 1, 2026, WIPO’s Madrid e-Filing platform is now the only route for outbound international trademark applications. Anyone filing international applications must now work inside an interface with a different submission sequence and validation checks that flag issues TEASi never did. Fortunately, the WIPO team is here to help guide you through the transition.
Join Alt Legal for a webinar on Thursday, November 19 at 11:00am (ET) where WIPO’s Olivier Pierre and Anna Manville walk you through through what’s changed and how to keep filing queues and client deadlines on track. In particular, they’ll address:
- TEASi does it no more: what actually changed on October 1
- Steeped in new steps: the Madrid e-Filing interface and submission sequence
- Spilling the tea: the errors already tripping people up post-cutover
- Queue the change: keeping filing queues and client deadlines on track
Everyone who’s registered for this webinar will receive an email with a link to the recording.
