Dear Kimmerle.a, at present it is not possible to set the time stamps in the EPO Online Filing client to be represented in the local time zone. The reference used both for storage and display of the time stamp is the server time. In any case the date and time of filing of an application are defined ...

For V5SP3 only: Unfortunately it was still impossible to pay by credit card when filing PCTRO101 to the IB, the information on the email address to be used did not end up in the request as expected. We now have an update available which will fix this issue. It is only relevant for those users who: -...

After applying V5SP3, errors can occur when importing applications prepared in other systems when the xml related to the fees is incomplete. The system will not create or override the missing fee information with the values that would appear if one would formfill an application from scratch via the ...

The patch has been removed and will be replaced with a newer one (due to problems detected with restarting the services when installing this patch in certain windows systems (windows 7, windows server 2008, windows server 2003), for networked versions of the EPO online filing client only). The updat...

Omega, You are correct, some of the fees in EP1200 are not shown when importing an xml which has minimal fees information. A correction to this issue is fortunately implied in the update that we provided yesterday evening (14/6) to address an issue which occurs when using older templates (created pr...

Omega, can you verify if the xml shows: fee-amounts-unlocked-by-user="no" ? It can be found in <ep-financial-data curr="EUR" fee-amounts-unlocked-by-user="no">. If the atribute fee-amounts-unlocked-by-user is missing then by default it is assumed to be "yes" (...

Matt,
