CIPO is introducing an updated look and feel to the general correspondence for patents, industrial designs and copyright online services.
On June 13, 2017 , these online services will be updated so that they comply with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s Standard on Web Accessibility . In addition, from now on general correspondence for industrial designs will allow you to submit your images in PDF format. This is an interim update and additional look and feel updates are expected in the coming months.
To get instructions on how to use the updated general correspondence online services, CIPO is pleased to offer live demonstrations by webinar.
