Expressions of interest sought for proposed Government to Business (G2B) interfaces

IPONZ is currently undertaking a project to enhance its Government to Business (G2B) offerings to clients using XML interfaces.

It is our intention to develop XML specifications that will enable clients to develop software to interact directly with our registry systems for applications, correspondence and renewals. These specifications will wherever possible be closely aligned with WIPO standards.

Expressions of interest are sought from clients / software developers who have an interest in adopting these interfaces.

As a prerequisite Clients and software developers will be required to sign a G2B Access agreement which will give them access to sample XML and specifications that will enable them to develop software interfaces to our system. A test environment will also be made available to facilitate development.

Expressions of interest should be directed to:
