Dear
Mr. Francis GURRY
Miss Tan, Fax:
41 22 338 8810
I refer to your letter dated May. 25, 2004, which I received on Jun 02,
2004.
Your letter reference the Mr. Matthew Bryan's letter of PCT, which was
sent to me on 27 Apr 2004, but I have not received yet, please send on Fax
62585636 to me again.
Your letter to quote Mr. Matthew Bryan letter said
that "entering
the national phase brings with it the obligation to pay for the translations of
the PCT application, pay national filing fees to the designated offices the
payment of these fees is totally the responsibility of the applicant". Nobody can deny the obligation of the
applicant to pay for the filing fees!
This is not the focal point of our disputed! Very obviously, the respond
was to perform one's duty in a perfunctory manner that include your letters
dated 10 Jul 2003 and 23 Jul 2003 and your letter to PCT dated 20 Aug 2003 at
all times.
Our
disputing subject one is, you with PCT International Bureau was to divvied applicant’s
designation fees and confirmation fees, SGD $178.- per designation country
and I was to paid the five designation and confirmation fees total SGD $890.- By the expense of authority, i wish you
could not to avoid conflict of interest again and must to respond below:
1.
The designations made under PCT Rule 4.9 for the
purpose of obtaining national patents undoubtedly, yes or
no?
2.
The confirmation fees of PCT Rule 4.9 to connote the national fees of designation country pay by applicant
but it is producing or filing by received office and PCT International Bureau
and get an application number of designation country which to show complete the obligation of confirmation fees? If you
were actual dishonor, you must to respond after that interrogation;
3.
What you working to do for the confirmation fees?
4.
If not to confirmation an application in the designation country, to
collect SGD $178.- per designation doesn't that to swindle?
5.
If filing the national
fees
by applicant self, which is to be paid by the applicant to make payment SGD $178.- per
designation or double to defray, please to point out the difference?
6.
If you was to hold on straight to the end still, whether you can write
down to proclaim which no any received office include the PCT International
Bureau whom to occur to helped anyone applicant to filing the national fees get an application number
of designation
country
at all times?
If
you and PCT International Bureau are high-principled to proclaim the
sixth interpellation of above-mentioned, our disagreement will vanish into thin
air, but you must to return the designation confirmation fees in showing your
reasons!
Our disputing
subject two is, 『the receiving Office shall must Under the PCT Article 11 (1) (b) “the designation of at least one Contracting State” …provided that that Office(designation office) has found that, at the time
of receipt, so on the“final provisions”under PCT Article 62 (1) to“deposit
of an instrument of accession”in Designation State to service
to receiving an instrument of the designation office ! Because the receiving Office had taken the Basic fee that includes the transmit
fee, the responsibility of receiving Office was simple this way! 』This disputing subject was shown my letter to Mr. Francis GURRY of PCT
on Mar. 09, 2004. In meeting at May.31, 2004 dear you
told that was personal opinion by me, but the Mr. Francis was to acknowledge tacitly, by the inviolability of property and
justice, I would be waiting respectfully for your opinion.
Yours faithfully,
Applicant: Lin Zhen Man
