[Pct] 92bis need to add inventor email?

[RICHARDSON Michael]

Dear Will

Further to my previous post, I would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We have been looking into the fact that it's not very user friendly opening this screen with a default arrangement that means you need have to clear the notification method before you continue without entering an email address when that is the normal thing to when there wasn't an email address there before.  This is a transitional effect that we hadn't considered that occurs when changing data originally created before a recent change to the system.  We will take steps to clean this up so that you should soon see a more intuitive arrangement and not need to take the step I mentioned earlier.

Best regards,
Mike

Dear Will

An email address is only required if a notification method is set - for an inventor there is no requirement to have a notification method. Select the blank option in the notification method box and you should be able to leave the email address field blank.

I want to correct an inventor name in a not-yet published IA of which I am eOwner.

ePCT 92bis request now requires me to add an inventor email address. Is this a new thing?
