Hallo,
weiß jemand, ob ich beim DPMA eine englischsprachige PCT Anmeldung einreichen darf?
Ich möchte den direkten PCT-Weg gehen. Das EPA soll die ISA sein, aber ich möchte in DE einreichen. Für deutschsprachige Anmeldungen geht das, fraglich ist, ob es auch für englischsprachige Anmeldungen geht.
PCT R 19
What happens if the application is filed in a language which is not accepted by the
receiving Office? If the international application is filed in a language which is not a language
accepted by the national (or regional) Office with which it is filed, but is in a language accepted
by the International Bureau as receiving Office, that international application will be considered
to have been received by that Office on behalf of the International Bureau as receiving Office.
In fact, the International Bureau as receiving Office accepts international applications filed in
any language (see Annex C). In such a case, the international application will be date-stamped
by the national (or regional) Office concerned and promptly transmitted to the International
Bureau (unless this is prevented by national security prescriptions). That transmittal may be
subjected to the payment of a fee equal to the transmittal fee (see paragraph 197(a) and
Annex C), but other fees paid will be refunded by the national (or regional) Office to the
applicant and the applicable fees will then have to be paid to the International Bureau as
receiving Office (see Annex C). The international application so transmitted will be considered
to have been received by the International Bureau as receiving Office on the date on which it
was received by the national (or regional) Office, except that, for the purposes of calculating the
time limits for paying the fees due on filing the international application to the competent
receiving Office, the date of receipt of the international application is considered to be the date
on which the international application was actually received by the International Bureau as
receiving Office.
