<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning Listmates. I have a few questions. If an application is filed (with claims to benefits for priority more than 6 or 9 nine years) and is filed WITHOUT any fees (i.e. a no-fee continuation application) , I understand that the
priority claim will not be listed on the filing receipt. However, it does not appear that we are receiving a notice to file missing parts, rather a Response to Request for Corrected Filing Receipt which indicates:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Applicant presented one or more benefit claims to a prior-filed nonprovisional application without the applicable continuing application fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(w). The benefit claim(s) has not been entered because it was not presented
with the applicable 37 CFR 1.17(w) fee. Applicant may wish to present any desired benefit claim(s) in accordance with 37 CFR 1.78(d), including the applicable continuing application fee. See 37 CFR 1.78(d)(3)(i). A petition to accept an unintentionally delayed
benefit claim may also be required. See 37 CFR 1.78(e).<o:p></o:p></p>
