Description,Claims, Drawings

PCT Art 3(2) states"(2) An international application shall contain, as specifiedin this Treaty and the Regulations, a request, adescription, one or more claims, one or more drawings(where required), and an abstract."The Request is dealt with by a separate DTD since it will behandled by form filling software and requires differentprocessing later.The main application will be authored by the applicant as oneword processor file, the order follows general practice today.The sequence list (although part of the description) is aseparate sub- document which will reference a n ST.25 compliantfile.

Attributes: lang = language of application - use ISO639 language code dtd-version = dtd version number file = filename of the whole application id = unique id for this app lication - could be file name status = status of the application; values:

n = new application id = an identifier for this application (could be filename) country = WIPO ST.3 code for application-->

After patent citati ons the most common citations are articles within serials (periodicals, magazines), books and electronic (eg. internet) sources. This is a very complex and varied area to standardise. The tag set below is drawn from a number of sources as is the order of the tags (which in any case can be changed depending on the stylesheet used).;

ANNEX 2/ANNEXE 2

WIPO CIRCULAR C. PCT 885

November 25, 2002

Madam,Sir,

Proposed modifications of the Administrative Instructions under the PCT

Standard for the electronic filing and processing of international applications: Proposals for change (files PCT/EF/PFC 02/009 to 013)

1. This circular concerns proposals for change to the standard for the electronic filing and processing of international applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) which will, if adopted, result in modifications of Annex F of the Administrative Instructions under the PCT. It is being sent, for the purposes of consultation pursuant to Rule89.2(b) of the Regulations under the PCT, to the national and regional patent Offices of, or acting for, all PCT Contracting States, including all receiving Offices, International Searching Authorities, International Preliminary Examining Authorities, and designated and elected Offices, and to interested intergovernmental organizations, as well as to certain non-governmental organizations representing users of the PCT system.

2. The International Bureau has received and prepared a number of proposals for change to the standard for the electronic filing and processing of international applications. Those proposals are available on WIPO’s Web site, together with previous proposals for change, as annexes to the following proposal for change (PFC) files (see http://www.wipo.int/pct/efiling_standard/en):

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/009 “Electronic Packaging” (Annex F, sections 5 and7) (proposal by the Korean Intellectual Property Office);

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/010 “Modifications of XML DTDs for the E-PCT Standard” (Annex F, Appendix I) (proposal by the European Patent Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office);

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/011 “Modifications of XML DTDs for the E-PCT Standard” (Annex F, Appendix I) (proposal by the International Bureau);

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/012 “New XML DTDs for the E-PCT Standard” (Annex F, Appendix I) (proposal by the International Bureau);

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/013 “Paragraph Numbering” (Annex F, section3.1.1.1.1) (proposal by the International Bureau).

3. The International Bureau would appreciate receiving any comments on the proposals by December 23, 2002. Comments should preferably be made by e-mail via the “Submit comments” facility on the Website, but may alternatively be made in writing by letter or by fax to +41 (22) 338 8040. Comments will be included as Annexes to the relevant PFC files. Copies of the proposals on paper are available from the International Bureau on request.

http://www.wipo.int/pct/efiling_standard/en

http://www.wipo.int/pct/efiling_standard/en):


Inquiries concerning the proposals should be directed to Mr. Thiam Ming Song (e-mail: [email protected]; phone: 41 (22) 338 9640; fax: 41 (22) 338 8040).

4. In Circular C. PCT 884, dated November 25, 2002, the International Bureau notifies the promulgation, with effect from December 12, 2002, of a new section2.5 “Change procedure” in Annex F dealing with special procedures for the proposal, consideration and implementation of future modifications of the standard for electronic filing and processing of international applications. It is intended that consideration of the proposals referred to in the present Circular will proceed independently of those new procedures.

5. The International Bureau intends to promulgate the present proposals for change, together with those set out in proposals for change files PCT/EF/PFC02/002 to 02/013 (see Circular C. PCT 830 dated April 4, 2002), revised if necessary in the light of any comments received by December 23, 2002. It is envisaged that the modifications would be promulgated to enter into force on a date to be fixed in March 2003.

Sincerely yours,

Francis GurryAssistant Director General

Madame,Monsieur,

Propositions de modificationde l’annexe F des instructions administratives selon le PCT

Norme concernant le dépôt et le traitement électroniques des demandes internationales: Propositions de modification

(dossiers PCT/EF/PFC/02/009 à 013)

1. La présente circulaire concerne des propositions de modification de la norme concernant le dépôt et le traitement des demandes internationales selon le Traité de coopération en matière de brevets (PCT) qui, si elles étaient adoptées, aboutiraient à la modification de l’annexe F des instructions administratives du PCT. Elle est adressée, aux fins de la consultation prévue à la règle89.2.b) du règlement d’exécution du PCT, aux offices de brevets nationaux et régionaux de tous les États contractants du PCT ou agissant pour eux, notamment l’ensemble des offices récepteurs, des administrations chargées de la recherche internationale, des administrations chargées de l’examen préliminaire international et des offices désignés et élus, ainsi qu’aux organisations intergouvernementales intéressées et à certaines organisations non gouvernementales représentant les utilisateurs du système du PCT.

2. Le Bureau international a reçu et préparé un certain nombre de propositions de modification de la norme concernant le dépôt et le traitement électroniques des demandes internationales. Ces propositions peuvent être consultées sur le siteWeb de l’OMPI en tant qu’annexes des dossiers de propositions de modification suivants, conjointement aux propositions de modification précédentes (voir http://www.wipo.int/pct/efiling_standard/fr) :

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/009 “Empaquetage électronique” (sections 5 et 7 de l’annexe F) (proposition de l’Office coréen de la propriété intellectuelle);

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/010 “Modification des DTD selon le XML pour la norme E-PCT” (appendice I de l’annexe F) (proposition de l’Office européen des brevets, de l’Office des brevets et des marques des ÉtatsUnis d’Amérique et de l’Office des brevets du Japon);

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/011 “Modification des DTD selon le XML pour la norme E-PCT” (appendice I de l’annexe F) (proposition du Bureau international);

– PCT/EF/PFC 02/012 “Nouvelles DTD selon le XML pour la norme E-PCT” (appendice I de l’annexe F) (proposition du Bureau international);

http://www.wipo.int/pct/efiling_standard/fr


3. Le Bureau international souhaiterait recevoir tout commentaire sur ces propositions le 23 décembre 2002 au plus tard. Les commentaires doivent de préférence être envoyés par courrier électronique grâce à la fonction “envoyer un commentaire” prévue sur le siteWeb, mais peuvent aussi être envoyés par courrier postal ou par télécopie (41-22-3388040). Les commentaires éventuels seront inclus dans les annexes des différents dossiers de propositions de modification. Des copies de ces propositions sous forme imprimée sont disponibles auprès du Bureau international sur demande. Les demandes de renseignements concernant ces propositions sont à adresser à M.
