What is the electronic filing system for international design applications?
The electronic filing system for international design applications is called eHague. According to MPEP 2909.01, “The electronic interface of the International Bureau’s electronic filing system, eHague, has the same contents and format as the DM/1 form.”
eHague is considered an official form for filing international design applications, as the MPEP states that “‘official form’ means a form established by the International Bureau or an electronic interface made available by the International Bureau on the web site of the Organization, or any form or electronic interface having the same contents and format.”
Using eHague provides the same functionality as the paper Form DM/1, allowing applicants to electronically submit their international design applications with all the necessary information and content required by the International Bureau.
