If the 50 1 form is filled in incorrectly and the application documents are submitted correctly, the 50 1 form can be corrected by correction.
If the 50 1 form is filled in correctly and the application documents are submitted incorrectly, it is a big mistake. When a dead horse is a living horse doctor, you can try the following countermeasures:
1) to see if it is still within 32 months from the date of PCT application (priority date is priority date).
If yes, submit the correct application documents immediately and pay the grace period fee of more than 30 months and less than 32 months.
2) See if there is similarity between the wrong document and the correct document. If the instructions are similar and the claims are inconsistent, you can modify the instructions by translating the correction program (not necessarily, depending on the similarity or luck) and actively modify the program to correct the claims.
"In the process of review, the translation of the application documents submitted by the applicant often appears wrong or incomplete. If only a few terms, sentences or paragraphs in the translation are omitted or inaccurate compared with the original text transmitted by the International Bureau, the applicant may go through the formalities of correcting the translation errors, submit a written request for correcting the translation errors outside the correction page, and pay the prescribed handling fee for correcting the translation errors.
It is important to note that if the translated text is obviously inconsistent with the original text, the translated text will not be used as the basis for determining the date of entry. "
3) If there is evidence that the deadline has been delayed due to force majeure (that is, the provisions of Article 6, Article 1 of the Detailed Rules), go through the formalities of reinstatement and resubmit (theoretically possible, but personal experience is limited and no successful examples have been seen).
Where the party concerned delays the time limit specified in the Patent Law or these Rules or the time limit specified by the patent administration department in the State Council due to irresistible reasons, resulting in the loss of his rights, he may request the patent administration department in the State Council to restore his rights within 2 months from the date when the obstacle is removed, or at the latest within 2 years from the date when the time limit expires.
4) See if your company is qualified for error correction. If so, you can apply for error correction.
