<p class="MsoNormal">For calculating fees in Box 24 on the PTO-1390 national phase transmittal, are we using the PCT publication in its entirety to calculate the number of pages (which usually includes the SR)? I learned to do it that way via the PCT learning
center from Carol Bidwell and Gary Smith, back in the day. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or, are we simply counting the Spec/Claim/Abstract/Drawings we originally submitted in the PCT application and not relying on the publication?<o:p></o:p></p>
