IP & trademark — document list, workflow and cautions

The mandate must cover both filing and amendment of the application. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: State every mandated step and certify signatures to the destination rule. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

The applicant name must match the application character for character. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Reconcile the legal-entity name and its formatting across the set before filing. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

The full chain of title from the original holder must be evidenced. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Assemble the chain-of-title documents and align the certified translations. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

A limited window applies from the first filing date. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Back-plan translation and certification from the priority deadline. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Technical terms in the claims must preserve the original scope strictly. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Build a subject-matter glossary and review it with the applicant. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Territory and term must match the recordal application exactly. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Reconcile territory and term wording across the agreement and recordal form. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Dates and channels of use must be independently verifiable. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Order the evidence chronologically and state the provenance of each item. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

The origin of the work and ownership basis must be explained clearly. This is why we audit the record before any certification step: Prepare an origin statement and attach the commissioning or assignment records. Handled at the start, it costs one review; discovered by the receiving authority, it usually means re-issuing the record and repeating every certification after it.

Not necessarily. Department of Intellectual Property, Thailand publishes its own requirement, so we read it before preparing the set and match the certification chain to it. Where the requirement is silent, we prepare to the stricter of the two formats so the same set stays usable if the file is later submitted elsewhere. Reference: กรมทรัพย์สินทางปัญญา.

Not necessarily. World Intellectual Property Organization publishes its own requirement, so we read it before preparing the set and match the certification chain to it. Where the requirement is silent, we prepare to the stricter of the two formats so the same set stays usable if the file is later submitted elsewhere. Reference: WIPO — Madrid & PCT systems.

Not necessarily. Department of Consular Affairs, Thailand publishes its own requirement, so we read it before preparing the set and match the certification chain to it.

You can. The work is the sequencing: 5 steps, each at a different counter with its own opening hours, and a document accepted at one step can still be rejected at the next. If you would rather not manage that, send us the set once and our team runs the whole chain and reports at each step.

Both. Our team has worked on document certification for more than 15 years, and most cases are decided before the first counter visit: which record to request, which office issues it, what order the certifications go in, and whether a step is needed at all. We review your case and tell you what your file is missing before you commit to anything.

Typical working time is 2–3 weeks including certified translation / 3–4 weeks including consular legalisation / governed by the application's priority window / dependent on the receiving office's examination cycle, excluding the receiving authority's own queue, which we cannot control and never guarantee. We confirm the realistic range for your case after seeing the actual document set.
