Laos Ministry of Intellectual Property website
Laos Ministry of Intellectual Property website: https://dip.gov.la
dip.gov.la is the official website of the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP), under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, serving as Laos’ authoritative online platform for national‑wide intellectual property administration, public services and information disclosure. The department oversees all categories of intellectual property including trademarks, patents, petty patents, industrial designs, copyright, geographical indications, new plant varieties and integrated‑circuit layout‑designs. Its core mandates cover IP registration and examination, registry database maintenance, IP enforcement, dispute settlement, and public awareness campaigns. It also represents Laos in international IP cooperation with WIPO, ASEAN and other relevant bodies.
The website delivers digital public services such as online application filing, IP database search, official gazette access, legal‑norm downloads and business guidelines. It publishes institutional news, training workshops and project updates, and disseminates IP‑related knowledge for enterprises, academic institutions and the general public. Part of its initiatives receive support from USAID. The platform aims to build a modern, transparent IP service ecosystem and leverage intellectual property to drive innovation, industrial growth and socio‑economic development across Laos。
