Current Account: Closure procedure

Hey there! Welcome to our tutorial.

In this video you will learn how to close your Current Account at WIPO.

Before closing your Current Account at WIPO, make sure that all your transactions are paid and completed. Once all the transactions are processed you can start the closing procedure.

Go to WIPO's official website and click on "Protect and Manage".

A menu will open. Find the menu title "Paying for IP Services".
Click on "Current Account at WIPO". Scroll down the page and click on the action "Close your Current Account at WIPO". All you have to do is fill in the closing form. Then WIPO starts the closing procedures.

Start filling in the required information. Enter the bank details of the original payer for reimbursement of the remaining funds. Finish entering your data and send the form.

From now on any new payment with your Current Account at WIPO will be denied but all the ongoing transactions will be completed if your Current Account has sufficient funds.

You will receive the balance remaining on your Current Account at WIPO on the bank account specified in the closing form after all ongoing transactions have been processed.
