For a missing application in WIPO DAS the possible reasons are two:

  1. The application is too recent and the request for registration in WIPO DAS has not been submitted yet. 
    1. Please consider that the Ofice of First Filing(OFF) needs some time to process the file (formal examination) before the registration can be submitted to WIPO DAS. 
    2. If for some reasons you are urged to received the DAS access code after your filing, please indicate it to the OFF, and wait for their confirmation before contacting WIPO DAS.
  2. For the TDA Offices, there are cases that the Applicant/Agent gets the access code before the application is registered in WIPO DAS. Those offices (USPTO, EPO, KIPO, JPO, CNIPA, EUIPO) provide the DAS access code directly to the applicant, but in some cases, it could happen that the applicant receives the access code before the registration was done.
    1. The reasons for this could be:
      1. the applicant has not submitted the required form to authorize the release of the documents to WIPO DAS
      2. there was an issue during the formal examination that is blocking the registration of the file
      3. the file is under "security review" and its final release depends on the clearance of the invention. Some OFF might flag the document as secret due to its content, if that is the case, the document will never be shared through WIPO DAS.
    2. DAS support can inform the OFF of the situation (the document is being required by an OSF), final registration in DAS will depend on the resolution of the issue that might be affecting the file in the OFF.
