Notification Of Transmittal Of Copies Of Translation Of The International Preliminary Report {PCT-IB-338}

PCT/IB/338, NOTIFICATION OF TRANSMITTAL OF COPIES OF TRANSLATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL PRELIMINARY REPORT ON PATENTABILITY (CHAPTER I OR CHAPTER II OF THE PATENT COOPERATION TREATY) (PCT Rules 44bis.3(c) and 72.2). This form is used in the international phase of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) process to notify the applicant and designated offices of the transmittal of copies of the translation of the International Preliminary Report on Patentability (Chapter I or Chapter II). The International Preliminary Report on Patentability (IPRP) is prepared by the International Searching Authority (ISA) or the International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA) and provides an opinion on the patentability of the invention claimed in the PCT application. The IPRP may be issued in either Chapter I or Chapter II, depending on the applicant's election. If the language of the IPRP is different from the language of the international application and the applicant has provided a translation of the international application, the PCT/IB/338 form is used to notify the applicant and designated offices of the transmittal of copies of the translation of the IPRP. The form requires the applicant to provide information about the application, including the application number and the date of transmittal of the IPRP, as well as the language of the IPRP and the language of the translation. The applicant must also indicate whether the notification is for Chapter I or Chapter II of the PCT. Filing the PCT/IB/338 form is an important step in the PCT process as it ensures that the applicant and designated offices are properly informed of the status of the application and any relevant documents. It is important to note that the PCT/IB/338 form is only used in certain circumstances and that the specific requirements for filing the form may vary depending on the designated offices and the language requirements of the PCT process. www.FormsWorkflow.com
