Matariki (Public holiday)

Matariki is a New Zealand public holiday celebrating the appearance of a star cluster constellation which marks the beginning of the new year in the Māori lunar calendar.

Our Auckland and Wellington Offices will be closed for business on Friday 28 June 2024. The Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand will also be closed on that day. Applications and documents submitted on these dates will have the following working day as their filing date. If the deadline for filing an application or document falls on this date, then the deadline will shift to the following working day.

We will have skeleton crew available to attend to any filings in Australia.
