An official publication, released weekly, that contains all datarelated to new international registrations.It is the officialdata reference for everyone: holders of internationalregistrations, IP offices and the public at large. Step fourSubstantiveexamination The IP offices of some designated Contracting Parties mayperform further substantive review of your registrationin accordance with their own domestic law. For example,are the designs morally acceptable? Note: only a handfulof offices perform full examination on novelty (these arecalled “Examining Offices”). What if protection is refused?You can contest refusals atthe domestic level. Any office that refuses protection willinform you – through WIPO – of the substantive reasonsfor, and the procedure to contest, refusal. IP rights are territorial so refusal by oneoffice does not affect your internationalregistration in other designatedjurisdictions. If no refusal is issued within six months of publication ofan international registration – 12 months for examiningoffices and those with opposition procedures – protectionis deemed to be granted under domestic laws.
