What is a Declaration of Actual Use (DAU) in the Philippines?

A DAU is a sworn filing that confirms your trademark is being used in the Philippines for the goods/services covered. It’s part of keeping your trademark registration in good standing.

Expand iconCollapse icon

When do I need to file a DAU in the Philippines?

Depending on your trademark status, IPOPHL requires a DAU in different time windowss, for example:

  • Within 3 years from filing/international registration
  • Within 1 year from the 5th anniversary of registration
  • In connection with renewals

We’ll confirm the correct deadline for your specific case.

Do I need to submit proof of use with the DAU filing?

Yes. In the Philippines, the Declaration of Actual Use (DAU) must include proof that the mark is being used. This typically means photos or samples showing the trademark as used in real commerce, such as:

  • Product labels or packaging showing the mark
  • Tags or stickers used on the goods
  • Photos of the product itself with the trademark visible
  • Store or point-of-sale photos (if relevant)
  • Marketing or promotional materials that clearly display the mark
  • Other acceptable evidence of actual use, depending on your goods/services and how your brand is sold

Don’t worry, your dedicated agent will confirm the best evidence for your specific classes and use case, and help you avoid submitting weak or non-compliant specimens.

Can I file the DAU for only some goods or services?

Yes. Your DAU should reflect the goods/services that are actually in use. We’ll help you confirm the best scope for your filing.

Can you help if I’m not sure whether my trademark qualifies as “in use”?

Yes. We’ll review your situation and guide you on what may be acceptable proof, and what adjustments may be needed before filing.
