Cambodia moves to Cloud-based WIPO IPO Business Service; First in ASEAN region

November 18, 2021

After the successful launch of the new cloud-hosted WIPO IP Office Suite for IP office administration in early 2021, Cambodia decided to adopt WIPO’s services becoming the first country in ASEAN to make use of the tool that provides improved IP office services, security, data quality and efficiency to participating IP offices.

In a November 18, 2021 launch ceremony hosted by WIPO Director General Daren Tang and H.E. Kitti Settha Pandita CHAM Prasidh, Senior Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation–(MISTI), Cambodia officially became the second country in the world to benefit from the new WIPO service.

Mr. Tang congratulated the Senior Minister and his colleagues for their dedication, hard work and commitment to prioritize the development of IP office business services and online customer services. He also highlighted the role of Cambodia’s patent office in supporting the innovation ecosystem and in particular Cambodia’s transition to becoming a paperless office to support the development of Cambodia’s IP ecosystem.

Senior Minister Cham recognized the close cooperation between WIPO and the Kingdom of Cambodia on a wide range of IP issues. He particularly highlighted the recent increase in the number of IP filings and the adoption of WIPO’s cloud services will help ease some of the pressure associated with this rising demand.

WIPO’s long-standing program of technical assistance to IP offices provides a platform for IP administration to more than 90 offices worldwide, which are enables them to efficiently receive, examine, register and publish applications for IP rights from users around the world.

The new cloud-hosted WIPO IP Office Suite utilizes modern, online tools to deliver new benefits to participating IP offices, which will be able to improve their services to the local and international IP community. Security and reliability of the services will be improved by deploying best-of-breed cloud technologies and the platform will provide efficiency gains that will enable WIPO and IP offices to devote more time and resources to improving IP service delivery, rather than dealing with IT infrastructure issues.

WIPO and the patent office of Cambodia will work closely together to validate and prepare the new cloud-hosted platform for use. The platform will be linked to WIPO File system that offers online IP filing to applicants and representatives. Mr. Tang recognized the close cooperation and significant efforts of Cambodia to launch this new system which will support the closer integration of Cambodia into regional and global IP systems.
