It is now 15 weeks ago that I followed instructions from the EBC and used fax to send in a Form 2248 in two of my PCT cases.  (See blog article.)  Yes, more than three months have now passed during which EBC continues to fail to act upon either of the Forms 2248 that I sent to them.

Hello PCT enthusiasts!

There was already a good reason to make plans to attend the PCT seminar that will take place next week in Detroit — namely the opportunity to hear from very nice WIPO people (and from me) about the PCT and ePCT.   (For more information or to register click here.)

Now there is an additional good reason to make plans to attend.  There will be a networking reception afterwards!  It is sponsored by the Michigan Intellectual Property Law Association.

It is now six weeks ago that I followed instructions from the EBC and used fax to send in a Form 2248 in two of my PCT cases.  (See blog article.)  Yes, six weeks have now passed during which EBC continues to fail to act upon either of the Forms 2248 that I sent to them.
