Cambodia’s Ministry of Commerce announced that trademark registration would move entirely online from September 30, 2025, replacing traditional paper procedures.
Under the new arrangements, applicants would be able to complete every stage through an electronic platform, including filing, examination, publication and receiving certificates. Documents relating to trademark owners and agents would also be transmitted and stored electronically.
The ministry said the measure would shorten processing times, lower costs and improve transparency and efficiency. Applicants would be able to submit materials from anywhere at any time and track progress in real time.
Industry observers said the reform marked an important step in intellectual property protection, improving the business environment and providing more efficient and secure services to domestic and foreign businesses. The report said the digital transition was also expected to encourage innovation and support Cambodia’s economic development.
