IP2SG system maintenance and updates

Removal of draft correspondences and forms on IP²SG created prior to scheduled system maintenance

There will be a scheduled system maintenance from Friday, 29 January 2021, 7pm to Sunday, 31 January 2021, 10pm. This scheduled system maintenance is necessary in order to introduce a series of security measures in IP²SG. We seek your understanding that due to system configuration changes, all draft correspondences and forms in draft folders and payment cart will be removed from your IP²SG account from Friday, 29 January 2021, 7 pm onwards. These will no longer be retrievable upon the completion of this system maintenance. We advise that you take note of this and plan your filing activities ahead.
