Aside from filing of a direct application with the Cambodian Patent Office, applicants can take advantage of the following paths to obtaining a patent registration:

1.     PCT National Phase Application

2.     Chinese Patent Validation

3.     Japanese Patent Acceleration

4.     Direct Filing to Cambodian Patent Office
