<p class="MsoNormal">Today I was trying to file a PCT response to a figures rejection. The confirmation plus PCT Appln. number would not let me file. I called EBC – miracle I got through in 5 min. – and they told me I had the wrong confirmation number. However,
the number I was using was on the receipt from filing the case. I asked how are you notified or to know it was changed? No answer. Thus, if you have an issue you have to call to find out your new confirmation number? Will they change it frequently? Now
all the systems I have it entered into have to be changed too. This lack of letting you know changes is NUTS!<o:p></o:p></p>
