- Samenvatting
This book is suitable as a desktop reference for everyday use by attorneys & administrators. However, always double check the status with latest WIPO resources and national patent offices before relying on the information presented.
These references are very useful during EQE (European Qualifying Exam) preparation. AG-IP and AG-NP are useful during the Exam to answer questions – however, answers should be supported with citations of PCT Articles, PCT Rules and EPO-PCT Guidelines (REE Rule 22). These Guides will be in force on 31 Oct 2023, so they will be the official ones for EQE 2024.
** New: There were very few legal changes in 2023, so many references from 2022 are still valid. A color overview of the PCT procedure is provided on the cover with AG references. RO GL and ISPE GL are no longer included. The format of this book is now A4 to minimise pages. Useful overviews from the wipo.int website are now included as Misc. WIPO-PCT Info.
It does not include PCT Articles and Rules, or any EPO Guidelines.
This Portable Edition uses thinner paper to reduce the thickness and weight. Dimensions: 210mm x 297mm x 17mm - 484 pages - 820g. Note that printing on this thin paper can sometimes result in minor print quality issues.
There is also a Study Edition with thicker paper to make it more suitable for intensive tabbing, annotating and highlighting. Printing on this thicker paper also provides a more consistent print quality.

Many applicants and administrators rely on the "Introduction" parts of the WIPO "Applicant's Guide" to answer day-to-day questions. But there is also a middle level reference, providing details about how Authorities handle common situations and how they communicate with applicants. Useful overviews from the WIPO website are also included.
This book contains:
● Introduction to International Phase (AG-IP or PCT AG I) - 9 Feb 23
Requirements and actions before the International Authorities from the applicant’s point of view
● Administrative Instructions (AI) - 1 Jul 22
Referenced in PCT Rules, detailing how Authorities should apply the Rules
● Overview of Applicant & Office Forms - 15 Aug 23
Annex F (Electronic Filing / Processing Standard) and the contents of the Forms are not included
● Introduction to National Phase (AG-NP or PCT AG N) - 9 Feb 23
Requirements and actions before the DO / EO's from the applicant’s point of view
● Misc. WIPO-PCT Info - 15 Aug 23
● PCT Fees - 1 Aug 23
The standard contents lists have been replaced by our "Detailed Table of Contents", with abbreviated titles, page numbers and indications of sections with a major change in the last 3 years. This provides a convenient overview, and helps to find information quickly.
There is also a lower level of WIPO refs providing much more detail about how International
Authorities operate and how they handle less-common situations. This book does NOT contain these refs, but they can be downloaded from www.wipo.int/pct/en/texts/gdlines.html:
● RO Guidelines (RO GL or GL/RO)
Recommended actions & steps to be followed by RO’s. The information is mainly procedural.
● ISA/IPEA Guidelines (ISPE GL or GL/ISPE)
Recommended actions & steps to be followed by ISA’s & IPEA’s. Substantive subjects such unity of invention and patentability are explained, with useful examples.
