Closed for Waitangi Day - Friday 6 February 2009

Our Office will be closed on Friday 6 February 2009 for Waitangi Day - a New Zealand public holiday.

 

Our website will be available 24/7 throughout this period. All applications made online between Friday 6 February 2009 and Sunday 8 February will receive a filing date of 9 February 2009.

Please note - If information about a design or an invention for which an application for a design or patent is to be made, is published prior to the official filing date it may invalidate the registration or patent. If a design or patent application is submitted online on an official closed day, such as on a weekend or Waitangi Day it would be prudent to wait until the next open day before publishing details of the design or invention.
