[Pct] PCT Application question

Wed Mar 19 21:20:49 UTC 2025

This is helpful. I don't have time right now, but if I were the 
/*practitioner */in charge of this case, the first thing I would do is 
go */read PCT Rule 26bis.2(c)/* to see if there was anything I could do 
directly at the IB, based on the date pattern (which I obviously don't 
have).

I would do it today before I left work since priority correction is a 
very time-sensitive matter.
