<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">The same thing happened to me recently. Upon many inquiries I learned that the PTO had a "software error" on January 3rd, which precluded action on uploading a provisional to which my ePCT filed IA claimed priority. Over the next 2 months, I twice got a manager at ebc or AAU, I forget which, to escalate, by entering a prompt for the development team to resolve the problem. Some time in mid february, it got resolved.<div>At one point, I got the advice to file a supplemental SB/69. I had filed and SB/39, so weird as that advice was, I filed an SB/69 and also another SB/39.</div><div><br></div><div>ePCT is not your problem.
