[Patentpractice] Calculating page count in a US national phase

[Suzanne Carter]

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.

Or, are we simply counting the Spec/Claim/Abstract/Drawings we originally submitted in the PCT application and not relying on the publication?

For example, if my PCT publication is 102 pages, then I'd be paying the fee for excess pages.


Best regards,

Suzanne
