It replaces the issue published on January 4, 2001 (PCT Gazette No. S-01/2001 (E)) and includes all information published after that date in Section IV of the PCT Gazette. The information concerning the international phase of the PCT procedure is presented in several parts called “ANNEXES” (Annexes A, B1, B2, C, D, E and L). Those parts are identical to the corresponding Annexes of the PCT Applicant’s Guide, Volume I, bearing the same letter. Therefore, the denomination “Annex” has been maintained for the publication in this Special Issue of the PCT Gazette since it has the advantage of uniformity of presentation of information in both the PCT Gazette and the Guide. This will facilitate the retrieval of information for the reader of both publications. The information concerning the national phase is presented in the last part of this issue of the PCT Gazette, called “SUMMARY.” For the reasons indicated above with respect to the Annexes, the “Summary” sheets are identical to the sheets with the same denomination contained in Volume II of the PCT Applicant’s Guide. They give, in summarized form, information on the requirements to be complied with by the applicant upon entry into the national phase before each designated (or elected) Office. Each of Annexes B1, B2, C, D and E as well as the “Summary” part is subdivided according to the alphabetical order of the two-letter country codes. The code used for a Contracting State is also used for the national Office of that State in its capacity as receiving Office, International Searching Authority, International Preliminary Examining Authority and designated (or elected) Office. The two-letter code for each Contracting State is indicated in the index which follows and in Annex A. For intergovernmental organizations, the following codes are used: “AP” for the African Regional Industrial Property Organization, “EA” for the Eurasian Patent Organization, “EP” for the European Patent Organisation, “OA” for the African Intellectual Property Organization and “IB” for the International Bureau of WIPO. Any reference to “Volume I” or to “Volume II” in the Annexes or in the “Summary” sheets is a reference to Volume I or Volume II, respectively, of the PCT Applicant’s Guide.
