Registering Patent In Thailand?

[asiasurfer]

Hi guys, here a business question:

Does anyone know which authority in Thailand is responsible for patenting new invented products? We are talking about products which have also been manufactured in Thailand.

Thanks a lot for information sharing...

Oh boy, this could be a good one. Hub of copying issuing patents.

The office is the Department of Intellectual Property part of the Ministry of Commerce. [ipthailand.go.th] Hotline 1368

Now the bad news, Thailand is only a partial signatory for IP protection and ultimately you may find it better to apply for protection elsewhere [under WIPO - wipo.int] and have Thailand as a specified country for ,manufacturing protection.

Regards

I looked intot he patent issue some time back. I was advised by a patent lawyer that your patent is only as good as your financial ability to defend it
