DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Patent and Trademark Office
[Docket No.: PTO–P–2015–0064]
Use of WIPO’s ePCT System for
Preparing the PCT Request for Filing
as Part of an International Application
With the USPTO as Receiving Office
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (Office or USPTO), in
its capacity as a PCT Receiving Office
(RO/US), will begin to accept
international applications under the
Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) that are
filed electronically with a PCT Request
prepared in the World Intellectual
Property Organization’s (WIPO) ePCT
system. ePCT allows users to generate a
zip file containing a validated PCT
Request; the zip file can then be
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
Presenter
submitted electronically to the RO/US
as part of an international application
filed using the USPTO’s electronic filing
system (EFS-Web). Because WIPO’s
ePCT system is web-based and the
servers that support the system are
located outside the United States, users
of ePCT are reminded that the export of
subject matter abroad pursuant to a
foreign filing license from the USPTO is
limited to purposes related to the filing
of foreign applications, which include
international applications filed in a
Receiving Office other than the RO/US.
A foreign filing license does not
authorize the export of subject matter
into ePCT for generating a PCT Request
for filing with the RO/US. Persons who
are considering the use of WIPO’s ePCT
system for preparation of the PCT
Request for filing as part of an
international application with the
RO/US should consider contacting the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) at
the Department of Commerce, the
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls
(DDTC) at the Department of State, or
the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) at the
Department of Energy for the
appropriate clearances where the
international application may include
technology subject to export controls.
DATES: The change in this notice takes
effect on June 1, 2016.

Michael Neas, Deputy Director
(telephone (571) 272–3289; electronic
mail message
(michael.neas@uspto.gov)),
International Patent Legal
Administration, Office of International
Patent Cooperation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USPTO’s electronic filing system (EFSWeb) enables users to electronically file
international applications under the
PCT with the RO/US. EFS-Web
currently permits users to submit the
PCT Request by uploading a zip file
created using PCT Secure Applications
Filed Electronically (PCT–SAFE)
software which is made available and
maintained by WIPO. The zip file from

PCT–SAFE contains a validated PCT
Request and fee calculation sheet in
PDF format, which are subsequently
loaded in the USPTO’s Image File
Wrapper (IFW). The zip file contains
additional files that, among other things,
allow the USPTO and WIPO to autoload application bibliographic data. All
other documents and application parts
must be prepared and loaded separately
in EFS-Web for filing of the
international application. Submission of
the zip file from PCT–SAFE at the time
of filing the international application
entitles the applicant to a reduction of
the international filing fee. Starting on
June 1, 2016, in addition to accepting
the zip files generated by PCT–SAFE,
the RO/US will also begin to accept
international applications filed
electronically with zip files created by
WIPO’s ePCT system. ePCT is a webbased service that provides for
electronic filing of international
applications with certain PCT Receiving
Offices. ePCT also provides for secure
electronic access, file management, and
document submissions for international
applications held by the International
Bureau (IB). The use of ePCT in this
manner requires the use of a WIPO user
account authenticated with a WIPO
digital certificate. ePCT is accessed via
an internet browser on the user’s
system, and all information input into
ePCT is stored securely on WIPO’s
servers. Detailed information on ePCTFiling can be found at https://
www.wipo.int/export/sites/www/pct/en/
epct/pdf/epct_filing_guidelines.pdf.
Both PCT–SAFE and ePCT include
validation features to help users
properly complete the PCT Request.
Since the PCT–SAFE validation can
only be made against the version of the
software installed on the user’s system,
the most up-to-date version of PCT–
SAFE is required in order to ensure
accurate validation. In contrast to PCT–
SAFE, validation in the ePCT system is
made in real time and does not require
software updates. Furthermore, like
PCT–SAFE, the zip file generated by
ePCT, which contains a PCT Request in
