Update on EOT Requests from the Cambodia IR Office of
the Department of Intellectual Property Rights
A recent update from the Cambodia IR office indicates a
significant change in the handling of Extension of Time (EOT)
requests.
Effective March 17, 2025, the IR office will automatically grant
a 60-day extension upon receipt of an EOT request, eliminating the
previous requirement for a formal notice of grant.
This change means that agents and clients will need to
independently track new deadlines without waiting for official
confirmation.
Key points to note include:
1. Requirements and Documentation: The
requirements for requesting an extension remain the same. However,
if a request is submitted without a Power of Attorney (POA), it is
advisable to notify the examiner.
