The 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, toppling buildings as far away as the Thai capital Bangkok on March 28, 2025, has caused significant disruptions in central Myanmar, particularly in the Sagaing, Mandalay, and Naypyitaw regions where the Myanmar IP Department (MIPD) is located. Consequently, the MIPD online system is currently inoperative and undergoing urgent repairs.
As a result, our local agent in Myanmar are temporarily unable to submit your IP applications (Patent, Trademark and Industrial design), oppositions, responses to notifications, and related processes neither submit manually nor electronically.
We kindly ask for your understanding during this challenging time. Please rest assured that we are closely monitoring the situation and will promptly resume submissions as soon as the MIPD system is restored to normal functionality.
Regarding Department IP Thailand (DIP) is now re-operating on March 31, 2025 and accept IP applications as usual. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
