Changes to the Publication Schedule

Publication of 9 September 2010

Due to the fact that Thursday, 9 September 2010, will be a non-working day at WIPO, the PCT applications which would normally have been published on that day, as well as any Official Notices (PCT Gazette) which would normally have been published on that day, will be published on Friday, 10 September 2010.  The completion of technical preparations for that publication will therefore take place 16 days before publication (which is earlier than the usual 15 days before publication), on Wednesday, 25 August 2010 (meaning that any changes which should be taken into account for the purposes of international publication should be received by the International Bureau by midnight on Tuesday, 24 August 2010).

Publication of 23 September 2010

Due to the fact that Thursday, 9 September 2010, will be a non-working day at WIPO, the completion of technical preparations for the PCT applications to be published on Thursday, 23 September 2010, will take place earlier than usual, on Tuesday, 7 September 2010 (instead of on Wednesday, 8 September 2010, the day on which technical preparations would normally have been completed).  This means that any changes which should be taken into account for the purposes of international publication should be received by the International Bureau by midnight on Monday, 6 September 2010.
