What are the benefits of using WIPO’s eHague system for filing international design applications?
WIPO’s eHague system offers several advantages for filing international design applications. According to MPEP 2905:
“Filing the international design application directly with the International Bureau through the WIPO’s e-filing interface (eHague) offers several benefits to applicants, including automatic error checking of inputted data, avoidance of the transmittal fee required by the USPTO for indirectly filed applications, rapid application delivery, and the ability to reuse data from previous applications.”
These benefits can help applicants save time, reduce errors, and potentially lower costs associated with filing international design applications. For more information on eHague, you can visit WIPO’s eHague website.
