IPONZ platform is getting an upgrade

We’re upgrading the New Zealand Intellectual Property Office (IPONZ) platform to deliver a more modern, secure, and user-friendly experience.

This upgrade will improve accessibility, streamline services, and make sure the system continues to meet the needs of our users.

The rollout will happen in stages over the next 3 years, with the first release for Designs planned for early 2026. Before the release date, we might get in touch to ask you to check or update your account. This will help everything run smoothly when the new system begins.

We’ll keep updating the platform upgrade page as the work continues. When you need to do something, we’ll give you clear instructions.

Thank you for your continued support as we build a better IPONZ experience.
