Just the same observation again:
Thes...Excellent!<br /><br />Just the same observation again:<br /><br />These editions of the PCT guides contain respectively 1072 and 718 pages for the international and national phases, for a total of 1790 pages. There's a reason why EQE candidates show up to paper D with a trolley... (And for those who must fly in, that cruel Irish airman will certainly take pleasure in torturing you and your wallet).<br /><br />The PCT guide proper is only 130 pages long, and will certainly save you for a couple of questions.<br /><br />The rest could be printed two-up or even 4 up, if your eyesight and printer are good enough, and you bring a magnifier along. That would still chew up a ream of paper.<br /><br />But how much of it might you actually need?<br /><br />You could perhaps get away in the international phase with all EP member states, and the larger RO/ISA/IPEAs (US, CN, JP, KR, AU, BR) as well as IB.<br /><br />But can you take a chance and leave the Mongolia or Antigua ROs out? Or could there be some sadistic question about the particular designations that don't have the 31 month entry delay?<br /><br />Ditto for the national phase.<br />Roufousse T.

They count as a "filing" the mere designation of the EPO on a PCT application that has not yet been processed, and may never be processed, into the EPO. The figures to be published in March will include the true figure for EPO filings (termed "applications" by the EPO, although making a distinction between a 'filing' and an 'application' seems to be unique to the EPO).Richard Bassettnoreply@blogger.com
