Since 2020 all ID5 offices have been securely exchanging priority documents via the electronic system called WIPO Digital Access Service (DAS) operated by the World Intellectual Property Organization. In 2023, nearly 150.000 priority documents were exchanged among the ID5 partners. The partners have now published a User Guide to clarify questions on the application format, the documents deposited by the partner offices, limitations on file size and colour or other limitation preventing an application, as well as common causes of failed transmissions.
Interested applicants seeking help with their priority claims are invited to view the User Guide and the Summary Document on the ID5 website.
