Carl's review: "The answer turns out to be 173 days.  From the date of entry into the US national phase (the "371 date") the delay averages 173 days.  That is about 25 weeks, or a week short of six months."

Subject: [Pct] pre-grant protection under 35 U.S.C. § 154(d) -- 371 national phase in USA

EXTERNAL EMAIL
Dear List,
I have a PCT with a national-phase deadline [30 month] this Friday.

My client is concerned about pre-grant protection  under 35 U.S.C. § 154(d) .

If I enter the national stage in the United States THIS WEEK, and then I file a preliminary amendment NEXT WEEK (i.e. after the 30 month deadline), which version of the claims will the USPTO publish.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Bill
