Official filing dates
If your application meets the necessary filing requirements, we will usually award the date of receipt of the application as the official filing date. However, this does not apply to applications which include a claim to priority from an earlier application which are received in the Office on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
For these applications, the official filing date will be the next working day as the Office is considered to be closed on weekends and public holidays for the filing of these types of application.
Further details can be found on our hours of business pages.
