About Us

The Brunei Intellectual Property Office (BruIPO) was set up on 1 June 2013 in line with the joint effort between the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) and the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) in the restructuring of the Intellectual Property (IP) administration in Brunei Darussalam. The restructuring began with the establishment of the Patent Registry Office (PRO) on 1 January 2012 under the BEDB which was followed by the transfer of the Registry of Industrial Designs on 1 October 2012 and the Registry of Trademarks on 1 June 2013.   

With effect from 1 July 2013, all applications for the registration of patents, industrial designs and trademarks can be lodged at the Brunei Intellectual Property Office (BruIPO) as follows:
