Ant-Like Persistence

Update:  The book is now finalized and you can see it here and here.

I’m working on a new book.  It’s entitled Oppedahl on PCT Forms and PCT Docketing.  Right now it is in what I might term beta testing.  The book is version 0.8.  I am providing copies of the book to some folks free of charge in the hopes that they will take a look at the book and maybe make suggestions or corrections.  Then I will finalize the book and release it for general sale.

Here I offer the slides from today’s PCT Update.  Slide 8 talks about the July 1, 2019 rules change which I covered in this blog article.

 

(Update:  three years later it seems the DO/EO/US people need to be reminded about PCT Declaration Number 4.  See blog article.)

I am providing some training material free of charge to the USPTO.  The training material, which relates to PCT Declaration Number 4 under PCT Rule 4.17, is prompted by a mistake that a nameless person at the USPTO made in one of our cases today.  Continue reading “Training material for the USPTO”

(Updated to include some of the topics.)

It has just now been announced that in just about 24 hours, Matthias Reischle-Park of WIPO will deliver a free-of-charge webinar entitled:

The PCT in 2019: end of the year update

I have learned informally what some of the topics will be:

• Rule changes (in force and coming next year)
• color drawings
• best ways to contact the IB without relying on fax
• collaborative search
• WIPO IP Portal

I gather it will last about an hour.  My guess is that if you are a PCT enthusiast or power user, you should attend.  I plan to attend.
