After you lodge your application
Shortly after you have lodged your application, IP Australia will check that
your application has met minimum filing requirements and then send you a notice
advising you of the design number and the filing date allocated to your application.
You will also receive a copy of the information about your application that
IP Australia has entered on its computer system. You should check this information
and inform IP Australia of any errors/discrepancies.
Within six months of the priority date of your application, you must apply in
writing to request registration or publication of your design.
Your application will lapse if we haven't received a request to register
or publish your design from you within six months after the priority date of
filing your application. Keep a note of that date to safeguard your design.
All correspondence should be addressed to the Registrar of Designs, and can
be delivered to one of our state
offices, or mailed to PO Box 200, Woden ACT 2606.
You should always include your design number/s in all correspondence.
