Reason for Clients to Use IPA Online Business Registry Service.
With the recent spike in the COVID-19 cases around the country and especially in NCD, the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) strongly advises its valued clients to utilize its Online Registry Services instead of coming to lodge paper files at the counters in its various established offices.
Similarly, the Intellectual property matters including lodgments for trademarks, patents and industrial designs must only be done through email. The email address is IPOLogements@ipa.gov.pg
This is purposely to discourage face to face interactions and minimize the movement of people in and out of IPA premises and the potential spread of the virus. A drop box will be provided at the security desk counter for clients to drop their documents with receipts for processing.
IPA Office Closure Period.
Note that IPA Office will be closed from 22nd to 26th March 2021
