Notes

1. IPOPHL generally issues the filing receipt within 5–7 business days.

2. Registration takes approximately 6–8 months through formalities examination. One application may contain only one independent claim. The maximum term is seven years, with no renewal.

3. IPOPHL may examine an applicant’s asset status. A non-Philippine entity or individual claiming small-entity status is more likely to receive an entity-status office action, which is difficult and costly to answer and may require additional official fees. To avoid this, we file as a large entity by default.

4. All timeframes are subject to the authority’s actual examination progress; we make no guarantee regarding processing times.
