Power of attorney formalities for foreign applicants

A foreign applicant appoints a local agent to file and prosecute a Thai patent, design, or trademark application. The appointment is a power of attorney signed by a person authorized to bind the applicant.

The power of attorney is notarized by a notary public or the Royal Thai Embassy in the place where the signatory resides. The application also names the applicant, the address, the nationality, and a contact.
