Two notes for practitioners: First, as of now, only patent and utility model applications will be deposited by the GPTO in WIPO DAS. Hopefully this will be extended to design and trademark applications later. Second, the process for requesting deposition in WIPO DAS is different from, e.g., the process known to European practitioners from EPO and EUIPO priority applications: For priority applications filed with the GPTO, it is required to file a separate request using Form A9164 after the application has been filed. Please find a link to the version of Form A9164 available as of writing this blog contribution .
