[Patentcenter] Foreign Filing License

[Sarah Adriano]

Hi David,

For expedited results, best to do following:

1.       fax file using FAX: 571-270-9959

2.       in transmittal sheet, designate:  MAIL STOP L&R.

3.       if appropriate, file Petition under 37 CFR 5.12B and 5.13 for expedited license filed with a corresponding application.

4.       pay $88 fee under 37 CFR 1.17G for small entity.

You should get your FFL in a couple of days, MAX.

Good luck, Sarah

Subject: [Patentcenter] Foreign Filing License

Do I recall correctly?   I think in EFS-Web you could request a Foreign Filing License almost like filing a provisional application.   You called it a "Petition for Foreign Filing License" (instead of a provisional application), uploaded the thing you were going to file, click a few obvious boxes and pay the 1.17(g) FFL fee, and voila, it's done.

PatentCenter doesn't have such a thing.  I think I'm hosed until Tuesday morning -- unless one of you knows something I don't.

So far, the best thing I've thought of is to file a provisional with a Petition for FFL but no filing fees, only the 1.17(g) FFL fee.  But I doubt that'll set the right attentions for the right people.

Second best is to file my PCT application at RO/US via Patent Center.  Yuck.
