Under the PCT, certain time limits apply to various stages of the international patent application process. These time limits may include deadlines for filing certain documents or responding to communications from the International Searching Authority (ISA) or the IPEA. If an applicant needs more time to meet a particular time limit, they may request an extension of time limit under PCT Rules 60.1(a) and 66.2(d). This request must be submitted in writing and must explain the reasons for the request. If the IPEA receives a request for an extension of time limit, they will use the PCT/IPEA/427 form to communicate with the applicant. The communication will confirm whether the request for an extension of time limit has been granted, and if so, the new deadline by which the applicant must meet the relevant time limit. www.FormsWorkflow.com
