</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The application papers are in the Patent Center file wrapper, but the "Application Information" page is not populated.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need to pay 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.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have about 10 more days before the fees must be paid. Should I just wait until the application gets to WIPO, and then pay ePCT? Or send a paper check?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have not called EBC. I don't need them to tell me that Patent Center is misbehaving and that they can't do anything about it.<u></u><u></u></p>
