[Pct] Response to inquiry on PatCntr failures and PCT fee payment - RE: Pct Digest, Vol 3, Issue 8

Fri Jan 26 12:08:32 EST 2024

I would get PCT Helpdesk involved.
571-272-4300

I have found the staff helpful - they have WIPO characteristics for providing assistance on PTO issues involving 371 applications.

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.

The application papers are in the Patent Center file wrapper, but the
"Application Information" page is not populated.

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.

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?

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.

When we have to pay an odd fee amount that cannot be calculated in Patent Center, we write a letter itemizing the fees, and authorize the deposit account for that exact amount.

Would this method work to pay PCT filing fees for an application filed in RO/US via Patent Center?

Frustrating as Patent Center can be, the thing I find most frustrating is that something like David?s ?bug? could go away tomorrow with absolutely no explanation. I don?t have a better suggestion than Cathy?s right now, but if you wait couple of days (since you have 10) the USPTO may correct this problem on their own.

Subject: [Pct] Another big-as-a-barn can't-get-an-application filed bug in Patent Center?

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.

The application papers are in the Patent Center file wrapper, but the "Application Information" page is not populated.

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.

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?

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.

Thank you for posting.? Some filers might not have a Deposit Account in
which case this approach does not work.? I suppose the filer could fax
in a Form 2038.
