PCT/IB/336, NOTIFICATION OF DEFECTS IN THE DEMAND (PCT Rule 60.1(e)). This form is a notification issued by the International Bureau of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) under PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) Rule 60.1(e). Under PCT Rule 60.1(e), if the International Bureau determines that the demand for international preliminary examination filed by the applicant is defective, it must notify the applicant of the defects and invite them to remedy them within a specified period of time. The PCT/IB/336 notification would inform the applicant that the International Bureau has identified defects in the demand for international preliminary examination filed in connection with their international patent application. The notification would also specify the nature of the defects and the period of time within which the applicant must remedy them. The applicant must then take appropriate steps to remedy the defects identified by the International Bureau. Failure to remedy the defects within the specified period of time may result in the demand being considered withdrawn or deemed not to have been made. This could affect the processing of the international patent application and the availability of international preliminary examination. www.FormsWorkflow.com
