1. The IP Office decides on the scope of operation (e.g. accessing office and patent priority documents only, accessing and depositing office for patents and industrial designs priority documents, etc.).
2. WIPO will require examples of published priority documents of each type of IP rights for testing purpose and the respective document number formats.
3. The IP Office will have to confirm whether you it is considering the WIPO DAS implementation using the secure web portal or via the new REST API.
   1. WIPO will arrange testing with the IP Office to make sure that the exchange of priority documents is operational.
   2. In case of using the secure web portal, the IP Office's staff, would need to create individual test WIPO online accounts using this URL http://www5.wipo.int/wipoaccounts (more info on d.1.21.- Creating a WIPO account for testing and training).
   3. Once their accounts are created, please send the information of the created accounts (user, email address, etc.) to das.support@wipo.int.
   4. To use and test the new REST API to automate the document exchange process, please follow the instructions as documented in the WIPO DAS wiki (https://www3.wipo.int/confluence/display/dascg/a.-+New+DAS+exchange+API) to create your private and public key pair and share the public key to das.support@wipo.int.
4. Your Office would need to consider a few technical details as mentioned in the sample notification letter:
