New Zealand - Online Trade Marks Correspondence
The Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ) has just released a new method of correspondence in relation to Trade Mark matters. This is great advance and we look forward to the implementation in relation to patents and designs.
Registered users of the IPONZ website are now able to send non-fee bearing trade mark correspondence to IPONZ electronically. This new functionality is available on line now. Once online, registered users can use this new online correspondence facility by inputting the following information in the fields provided:
Email Address (Provided by system)
Reference
IP Number
Nature of correspondence (Drop Down Box)
and attaching your correspondence through the browser feature provided.
Correspondence is delivered direct to IPONZ and within 30 minutes an acknowledgement of receipt will be returned. Up to 10 letters at a time can be lodged for the same IP(s), with correspondence being forwarded automatically to IPONZ staff for early consideration.
IPONZ are also presently developing software that will allow Registered Users to submit patent and design correspondence online including the ability to include payments. This functionality is planned to be available during April.
