“Notice to File Missing Parts,” or “Notice of Incomplete Application”).
*Receipt for National Stage Papers Filed in the International Division as a Designated/Elected Office
If a receipt and notification of a serial number for a national stage application is desired, it is suggested that two(2) seperate
postcards be submitted to the International Division as a Designated/Elected Office. The International Division will stamp and return
one postcard as a receipt, verifying the date the papers were deposited in the Division. The other postcard will be returned once the
national stage serial number has been assigned.
It is strongly recommended that the receipt postcard include a detailed itemization of what is submitted (MPEP 503). The
identifying data should be so complete as to match the papers with the international application or other documents with which they
are to be associated; for example, the international application number, filing date, title, file reference number, number of pages to
the specification, claims, abstract, drawings, and type of papers, such as national stage application papers, petition, amendments, etc.
