<p>When I am using a credit card (which is almost always how we pay
our fees), I sometimes find I have no choice but to use Form 2028
and fax it to the Central Fax Number +1 571-273-8300. there is a
wide free-text box toward the bottom of the form where I type in
the four-digit fee codes that I am paying. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">What about
submitting the SB/17 form indicating the fees you intend to
pay? I know it isn’t a PCT form, but that’s what we use when
PC doesn’t list a fee. We will just put what we are paying
in the “other” field at the bottom if they aren’t listed
anywhere else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

thing I find most frustrating is that something like David’s
“bug” could go away tomorrow with absolutely no explanation.
I don’t have a better suggestion than Cathy’s right now, but
if you wait couple of days (since you have 10) the USPTO may
correct this problem on their own.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">A couple weeks
ago when nothing was working, using Patent Center, I tried
to file a PCT application with an ePCT zip file. Nothing
was working (I think that was the day Patent Center just
crashed, seconds after I submitted this very application),
so i didn't pay the fees.<o:p></o:p></p>

the fees. I check all the boxes and -- the fee for
"International Filing Fee (first 30 sheets) with ePCT zip
file" isn't in the selectable lsit. The only fee is "
INTERNATIONAL FILING FEE (FIRST 30 PAGES - FILED
ELECTRONICALLY WITHOUT EPCT OR PCT-EASY .ZIP FILE)" (which
isn't me), and the listed fee is pretty clearly wrong,
based on my RO101 from ePCT. I have goofed around a bit
to try to get the right fee calculation, no can do.<o:p></o:p></p>
