How do I file a fully electronic application on physical media?
Save your application on a CD-R, DVD-R or a diskette (physical media types depend on the receiving Office selected). The medium chosen should be clearly labelled with the following indications: the name of each applicant, title of the invention, file reference, date of creation of the physical medium, if multiple media are used the order of the medium (e.g. 1 of 2, 2 of 2), indication of whether the medium is ‘copy 1’, ‘copy 2’, etc., an indication of the document type (e.g. backup copy). Each physical medium must also be accompanied by a transmittal letter on paper. This information and further details can be found in Appendix IV of Annex F [PDF] of the Administrative Instructions Under the PCT. Send your application to the RO/IB at WIPO, 34, chemin des Colombettes, P.O. Box 18, 1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland.
