The eDocFile System is an Internet-based service of IPOPHL for the online submission of client communication including responses, requests, payments (Annuity, Extension, Publication fee, Issuance fee, etc.) and other patent-related documents. As such, the applicant is advised to be responsible to check first the status of the application to be affected by such online submission, before proceeding to filing and/or paying through eDocFile Patents.

Any mistake in payment made through eDocFile such as Filing Fee, RSE , Issuance Fee, Request for Extension, Annuity and other requests will not affect or cure the status of a withdrawn, forfeited application, expired registration or lapsed patent.

Further, applicants/agents/filers must review and check the payment details being selected/entered in the online system, since all fees or excess amounts paid without the fault of IPOPHL shall be deemed as donation to the Office pursuant to IPOPHL Memorandum Circular No. 17-014 amending MC No. 16-012.
