IP2SG system maintenance and updates

25 January 2021

The Patent Abstract and Specification Search will be temporarily removed from IP2SG on 1 February 2021 for improvements. Alternative search options, such as WIPO PatentScope and Google Patents, are available for use.

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.

Temporary Removal of Patent Abstract and Specification Search from IP2SG on 1 February 2021

The Patent Abstract and Specification Search will be temporarily removed from IP2SG from 1 February 2021. We are working on improving this service and will be launching a new search service in due course. Simple and Boolean searches for patent application are still available in IP2SG.
