PCT/ISA/230, INVITATION TO FURNISH ORIGINAL OF DOCUMENT TRANSMITTED BY TELEGRAPH, TELEPRINTER, FACSIMILE MACHINE, ETC. (PCT Rule 92.4(d), (e) and (f)). This form is issued by the International Searching Authority (ISA) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The form is used to invite applicants to furnish the original of a document that was transmitted by telegraph, teleprinter, facsimile machine, or other means of electronic communication. The form is issued when the international application includes a document that was transmitted by one of these means, and the applicant has not yet furnished the original of the document. The form invites the applicant to furnish the original of the document within a specified time limit. The purpose of the PCT/ISA/230 form is to ensure that the International Searching Authority has access to the original document, which may be necessary for the proper conduct of the international search. PCT Rule 92.4(d), (e), and (f) provide the legal basis for issuing the form and specify the conditions under which the original document must be furnished. Failure to comply with the invitation to furnish the original document within the specified time limit may result in the document being considered not to have been submitted or in other consequences as provided for under the PCT. www.FormsWorkflow.com
