Dates and channels of use must be independently verifiable.How we handle it: Order the evidence chronologically and state the provenance of each item.
The origin of the work and ownership basis must be explained clearly.How we handle it: Prepare an origin statement and attach the commissioning or assignment records.
A currently valid registration record must be attached.How we handle it: Check the registration expiry and renew before lodging the recordation.

Our team checks the receiving authority's current requirements before the first step, which is where most rejections are avoided.

Doing it yourself vs letting us run it — IP & trademark
What has to happen
If you run it yourself
If our team runs it
Confirming current requirements
You contact each of the 5 possible receiving authorities yourself and read their current wording before preparing anything.
We confirm the receiving authority's current requirement before step one, then tell you exactly which records to request.
Assembling the document set
You work out which of the 10 document types apply to your case and which linking records are also needed.
We audit the set first and list every missing linking record (name changes, marriage or divorce records, issuing-office copies).
Order of certification steps
Up to 5 sequential steps, each with its own queue; one step done out of order usually means starting again.
One intake, one owner. We run the steps in the correct order and hold the file until the whole chain is complete.
Rejection risk
10 distinct rejection causes are documented on this page alone — most are only visible after a document is returned.
Each known cause is checked against your file before lodging, and the fix is applied before the document leaves us.
Trips and waiting time
Separate visits for the district office, the ministry counter and the embassy, each with its own opening hours.
You send the set once. We handle submission, follow-up and return delivery, and report progress at each step.
If something goes wrong
You restart the affected step and re-queue at the counter.
Our reviewer diagnoses the cause, corrects the file and advises whether a replacement record is needed.
We are your adviser, not only your processing agency
Our team has spent more than 15 years on document certification for receiving authorities in Thailand and abroad. Most of the value is in the advice before the first step: which record to request, which office issues it, what order the certifications go in, and which wording gets a file rejected.
Free-of-charge case review before you commit: we tell you what your file is missing and what the receiving authority currently accepts.
A named reviewer stays with your file from intake to delivery, so you are not re-explaining the case at every step.
Advice covers the whole journey, not one document: if a later step needs a different record, we tell you now rather than after a rejection.
If a step is not required in your case, we say so — we do not add certifications the receiving authority does not ask for.
Would you rather not deal with any of this?
Send us the document set and tell us the receiving authority. We confirm the requirements, run every certification step in the correct order, and deliver the finished set back to you. Fees are quoted per document set by our staff by phone, LINE or email.
These are procedural worked examples compiled to explain document requirements and workflow. They are not individual client records, contain no personal data, and are not customer reviews or testimonials. Fees are quoted per document set — please contact our staff by phone, LINE or email.

What does Intellectual property involve, and what do I need to prepare?
Intellectual property. Prepare 4 core items — starting with High-resolution mark image or invention disclosure — then we work through 5 steps: Database search before filing to reduce refusal and opposition risk; Nice classification matched to actual commercial use; Filed with the Department of Intellectual Property with full supporting documents. We verify every item against the receiving authority's current requirement list before anything is submitted, and tell you which points are weak. Fees are quoted per case by our team.
Which documents do I need for Intellectual property?
High-resolution mark image or invention disclosure; List of goods/services to be covered; Company affidavit or applicant's ID; Power of attorney for the agent and evidence of use, if available
What are the steps for Intellectual property?
Clearance search. Database search before filing to reduce refusal and opposition risk. Classify goods/services. Nice classification matched to actual commercial use. File. Filed with the Department of Intellectual Property with full supporting documents. Respond to objections. Submissions prepared for office actions or oppositions. Registration and renewals. Certificate obtained and renewal deadlines diarised.
What most often gets this rejected?
Trademark rights are territorial; a Thai registration does not protect you abroad. Public disclosure before filing can destroy novelty. Wrong Nice classification leaves gaps in protection. Copyright arises automatically, but evidence of creation must be preserved.
Can you guarantee the result?
No — acceptance is the receiving authority's decision, and anyone promising otherwise is not being straight with you. What we take responsibility for is the file: every item checked against the current requirement list, weak points flagged before submission, and a written explanation of what the officer will look at.
Why hand this to our team
Intellectual property goes wrong in small, expensive ways: a name spelled differently from the passport, a copy certified by the wrong officer, a document issued outside the recency window the receiver accepts. Our attorneys and registered translators have worked on this paperwork since 2010, we keep the current requirement list for each destination office, and we tell you where your case is weak before you spend anything on submission. One team handles translation, notarisation, consular legalisation and embassy steps, so nothing gets lost between providers.
