  ** Correction: updated 4.3 PCT Form Overview at fireballpatents.com/study-materials/complete-pct-ag
  
  This book is suitable as a desktop reference for everyday use by attorneys & administrators.
  
  It is recommended for EQE (European Qualifying Exam) candidates because EPO-PCT Guidelines (GL/PCT-EPO) contains many references to AI, RO GL, & ISPE GL Guidelines.
  For answering questions at the EQE, AG-IP and AG-NP will help with the general part and some details. Answers should be supported with citations of PCT Articles, Rules and EPO-PCT Guidelines (REE A.12 and IPREE R.2 & R.22).
  
  These Guidelines will be in force on 31 Oct 2020, so they will be the official ones for EQE 2021

  It is printed on thin (60g) paper, with dimensions: 160mm x 230mm x 25mm - 706 pages - 690 g.
  It does not include PCT Articles and Rules, or any EPO Guidelines.
  
  ---------
  PCT info is very fragmented. Applicant’s Guide (AG-IP & AG-NP) covers common issues, but there is a lot more available to complete the puzzle. This book includes all the higher and lower levels of the WIPO Guidelines:
  ● Introduction to the International Phase (AG-IP): requirements and actions before the International Authorities from the applicant’s point of view.
  ● Introduction to the National Phase (AG-NP): requirements and actions before the Designated and Elected Offices from the applicant’s point of view.
  ● Administrative Instructions (AI): referenced in PCT Rules, detailing how the Authorities should apply the Rules.
  -- Annex A is replaced by our "Overview of Applicant & Office forms". The forms themselves are not included. The forms provide further info about defects, remedies, sanctions and time limits: www.wipo.int/pct/en/forms
  -- Annexes B to E are included
  -- Annex F (Electronic Filing & Processing Standard - 530 pages) is not included as it is less relevant for applicants. See: www.wipo.int/pct/en/texts/index.html
  ● Receiving Office Guidelines (RO GL): recommended actions & steps to be followed by RO’s. The information is mainly procedural.
  ● International Search & Examination Guidelines (ISPE GL): recommended actions & steps to be followed by ISA’s & IPEA’s. Substantive subjects such unity of invention and patentability are explained, with useful examples.
  
  For each part, the standard contents tables have been replaced by our "Detailed Table of Contents", with abbreviated section titles, page numbers and indications of the sections with a major change in the last 3 years. They provide a convenient overview of the contents, and help to quickly find the desired information.
