The Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP) has announced a technical upgrade to the i-DEPOT digital filing system on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 July 2026. The service will be temporarily unavailable during the maintenance window, so users planning to file materials, create timestamped evidence or manage existing records should adjust their schedules and verify submission confirmations once access is restored.
Although this is a planned technical interruption, it can still affect time-sensitive evidence strategies. Users should avoid leaving critical filings until the edge of the outage period, allow extra time for document preparation and payment, and consider alternative evidence-preservation steps where a fixed deadline or commercial milestone cannot be moved.
