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

Fri Jan 26 13:59:58 EST 2024

Thank you Carl, that did it.

As usual, PCT Help Desk was genuinely helpful.   Here's the trick to
share:  on Patent Center, after you put in PCT serial number, and get to
the near-last page where you're entering number of pages, etc, the last box
is "Late Payment of Fees."  That box has no handcuffs on it -- you can put
in any number you need.  It doesn't have to be a number from the two
specific forms they list -- it can be any fee you feel like paying.  You
don't have to allocate it by fee code or nuthin'.

The wonderful PCT help desk person encouraged me to send a follow up paper
with the receipt, explaining what happened, so the fees go to the right
place, which I was only too happy to do to explain that Patent Crapper
sucks.

Well, here it is, 2PM, and I have now completed the simple task that I
thought I'd knock off in the first 20 minutes of my day so I could check
someting off.   Patent Crapper just stole three hours from me.
