What forms are available for managing representation in international design applications?

The International Bureau provides several forms to manage representation in international design applications. According to the MPEP:

The International Bureau makes available forms for the appointment of a representative (form DM/7), requesting the recording of a change in name and/or address of the representative (form DM/8), and cancellation of recording of appointment of a representative (form DM/9).

These forms are designed to facilitate various actions related to representation:

  • Form DM/7: Used for appointing a new representative.
  • Form DM/8: Used for updating the name or address of an existing representative.
  • Form DM/9: Used for cancelling the appointment of a representative.

All these forms can be accessed on the WIPO website at www.wipo.int/hague/en/forms/. Using these official forms can help ensure that your requests regarding representation are processed correctly and efficiently by the International Bureau.
