        Considering the widespread and rapid developments in the field of Internet services, the paper registration of industrial property seems time consuming, expensive and exotic.  National, regional and international intellectual property offices, in line with the regulations, with understanding of these realities have paved the way for electronic registration of industrial property subjects such as patents, trademarks and industrial designs. In the executive regulations of the Law of Patents, industrial designs and trademarks of Iran, the electronic registration has been provided, but the Industrial Property Office has not yet done any actions in this regard. The present article, through explaining the concept, scope, status and benefits of electronic registration as well as the national and international experiences, seeks to acquaint our legal community and Industrial Property Office with electronic registration. It also suggests that advances in information technology should be used to develop electronic services, and that by using the technical services, assistance and advice of international organizations, especially world intellectual property organization, fundamental and serious steps can be taken in the field of electronic registration.      

Keywords: Patent, Electronic registration, Industrial property, Trademark, Industrial designs, Intellectual property office
