<p>The listserv member is, I think, making a sly reference to ePCT.
When you enter, say, a priority application number into ePCT, it
automatically runs off to DAS and cross-checks the digits that you
entered against the (hopefully) identical digits that are already
in the DAS system. If they match, you get a smiley face from
ePCT. If they fail to match, you get a frowny face from ePCT.
The alert filer who gets a frowny face from ePCT can then look to
see whether (for example) a couple of digits got transposed. The
validation goes so far as to cross-check the application number
and the (purported) filing date and the two-letter code for the
office where the filer says the priority application was filed.</p>
<p>Used to be that the public face of PCT at the USPTO was Mike
Neas. Later he got promoted to some other part of the USPTO and
now he does not do PCT any more. But shortly before his
promotion, he said that he had been urging the IT people to add a
feature to EFS-Web so that when the filer enters the PCT number
into the first screen of EFS-Web, it would ... wait for it ....
automatically run off to Patentscope and cross-check the digits
that you entered against the (hopefully) identical digits that are
already in Patentscope. If they match, you get a smiley face from
EFS-Web. If they fail to match, you get a frowny face from
EFS-Web. Not only that, what he was asking the IT people included
... wait for it ... would they please display the invention title
and applicant name and first inventor name. So the filer could
get tipped off if the filer had entered an incorrect PCT number. <br>

<p>Normally the USPTO's PCT Help Desk is right about just
about everything. But many listserv members are well
aware, from painful personal experience, that if the wrong
PCT number was entered into EFS Web, it is impossible to fix
this for free. It does not matter now many times the
not-wrong PCT number appeared somewhere else in the filing
package. If the wrong PCT number was entered into that
first EFS-Web screen, then the only way to get it corrected
is to pay lots of money to the USPTO.</p>
<p>Let me say this another way. If the wrong PCT number was
entered into that first EFS-Web (now Patent Center) screen,
and if you later feel you should be able to get the mistake
corrected without having to pay money to the USPTO, you will
not succeed. It does not matter whether you can point to
one other place, or even a dozen other places, where the
not-wrong PCT number appeared. Not in a copy of the first
page of the PCT pub. Not in an ADS. Not in a cover
letter. No. If the place where you made the mistake was in
that first screen of EFS-Web (now Patent Center), then it is
too bad, so sad, you have to pay money to the USPTO to get
them to fix your mistake.</p>
<p>I suppose maybe what the USPTO PCT Help Desk might have
been getting at is, if the attempt at a US national-phase
entry were to turn out to be a total and complete failure,
then you might find that your only path forward is the
"petition to revive". And yes the government fee for the
petition to revive is more dollars than the government fee
for "please correct my mistake that I made on the first
screen of EFS-Web". But even so, the mere presence of the
not-wrong PCT number in, say, the ADS will be more than
sufficient to do the job. <br>

style="font-size:11.0pt;">And what Suzannah
describes (the filer having the self-control to
avoid handing in a copy of spec-claims-abst-drawings
when entering US national phase) is actually a Best
Practice. It is a Best Practice to have this
self-control because it avoids the possible mistake
of handing in <b><i><span

wrong spec-claims-abst-drawings.</span></i></b>
</span></font></p>

that if (a) the US national-phase entry is being
done so early that the PCT publication has not yet
happened, and (b) the US was not the RO, then yes
you do have to file a copy. </span></font></p>

National phase under 371 -- what's required?</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">I
filed a national phase application in the USPTO
under 35 USC 371.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">The
International Bureau (IB) had already provided a
copy of the application to the USPTO, but with the
original filing I provided a copy of the published
application anyway.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">The
patent examiner now requires a copy of the
specification. He has examined the application
using the PCT publication. I informed him that
under the rules, I was not required to file a copy
of the specification if the IB had already
communicated it to the USPTO, which they had.
However, I had already provided a copy. He
mentioned that he always receives them, to which I
responded that I don\u2019t always file them if it's
not required. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">What
he seems to want is a copy of the specification
that is not the PCT publication.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">When
I asked the examiner why he needed it, the reason
he came up with is that it makes it easier for the
publication team to make corrections.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">He
did not request a DOCX file. I do have the
original Word file, but I don't see any reason to
file it, especially since I amended the
specification upon entry to include a reference in
the first paragraph to the PCT application.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">He
agreed that I could defer this filing. I don\u2019t
want to do the work of filing a substitute
specification.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">The
examiner\u2019s office action on the merits is thorough
and detailed, and he has a good understanding of
the art, the invention, and, of course BRI. My
only issue is this requirement to file the
specification in some other form than the office
already has.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">Under
37 CFR 1.495, the requirements for entering the
national phase include:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;">(1)
A copy of the international application, unless it
has been previously communicated by the
International Bureau or unless it was originally
filed in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office; and</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span
