Official Forms Updated / New Accompanying Notes for Filing


WIPO informs that the official forms for international applications have been updated. In addition, new accompanying notes for filing for the most commonly used forms are available.

The following main changes have been introduced:
− removal of the cover page;
− update of the layout design to highlight the fields where applicants and holders must provide information;
− creation of one field for each applicant, each new holder and for the representative to indicate each his or her own e-mail address, in anticipation of changes to the Regulations that will enter into force on February 1, 2021, making e-mail address a prescribed indication; and
− introduction of a new continuation sheet to clarify how information should be indicated where there are joint applicants or joint new holders.

The new notes for filing will guide users when completing the official forms and help them avoid irregularities. Currently, the notes have been published in English and are available for the 10 most commonly used official forms. Other languages will follow.
