Invitation To Furnish Translation For The Purposes Of International Preliminary {PCT-IPEA-443}

PCT/IPEA/443, INVITATION TO FURNISH TRANSLATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF INTERNATIONAL PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION (PCT Rules 55.2 and 55.3). This form is used in the context of international patent applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). Specifically, it is an invitation sent by the International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA) to the applicant, requesting that they furnish a translation of certain parts of the application for the purposes of international preliminary examination. According to PCT Rules 55.2 and 55.3, if the international application is filed in a language other than English, French or Spanish, the IPEA may require the applicant to furnish a translation of the claims, abstract and, if necessary, the description of the invention, into one of these three languages. This is because the IPEA needs to examine the application in a language that they can understand, and English, French and Spanish are the official languages of the PCT. The PCT/IPEA/443 form serves as the official request for the applicant to provide the translation in question. The form includes information about which parts of the application need to be translated, the language into which the translation should be made, and instructions on how to furnish the translation to the IPEA. It is important to comply with the request in a timely manner, as failure to furnish the translation may result in the IPEA carrying out the international preliminary examination based only on the parts of the application that were filed in English, French or Spanish. www.FormsWorkflow.com
