Saw this one on 10/3.

Answer included something along the lines of: “IB will not publish, but US will publish upon entry into the national stage”.

Should not it be 30 months after the priority date (may or may not be the filing date depending on whether priority is claimed)?

CORRECTION:
I’ve looked it up and C is false.
Every PCT application after it enters the national stage is once again published as a US application.
Sorry for any confusion

A. is correct
B. Is false – if they desinate only the US, no publication
C. is correct.
D. is false – because all international applications are published.
E. is false
This seems to be a beta or incorrect question.
I cant find any reference which disputes statement C. See 1893.03(e)

For what it’s worth: these search hints still hold for E8R8.

Searching “18 months” from top of 1800 PCT finds 1803 on the third hit.

This is how you may find it:

In the MPEP E8R4 go into Appendix T: PCT. Search for “not published”. After one ot two clicks you see the reference to Article 64(3), the title of the Article is Reservations.

In the MPEP E8R4 do into Chapter 1800, PCT, search for 64(3) or Reservation, It will take you pretty quickly to 1803.

With regard to the test question involving publication of international applications received by the USPTO as receiving office, can anyone tell me how one might find MPEP 1803 by searching. I am quite impressed by Dan’s post #38 on the “Prometric Patent Bar” tab which the advocates the extensive use MPEP search, but I don’t see how to apply Dan’s test-taking strategy to a case like this one. I have yet to find a keyword or key phrase that leads to 1803.

Thanks, Art Williams

That’s not the same question. It wanted to know if it would be published as an IA and/or under 122. The choices were it would be published once, under each, not at all, etc.

The correct answer is that it would not be published as an IA, since the US was the only designated state, but it would be published when it entered the national stage.
