Which renewal requires a letter of Power of Attorney (PoA)?

When we hire a local agent, they essentially help us to process the renewals, sometimes in person at the patent office! Some of them require a letter of Power of Attorney (PoA). With this representation requirement, this letter formally authorises our agents to manage the renewal on your behalf. 

Steps:

  1. We provide you with the PoA document.
  2. We request  you to fill it out then sign it. 
  3. Then email us a scanned copy of it.
  4. And send a physical copy of the PoA via postal mail to the local agent.

Here is a list of those jurisdictions that has a PoA requirement:
