EPO - Discussion forums

I've noticed that Form 1200 (European regional entry from PCT) automatically inserts the renewal fee on the fee calculation tab, even though in most of our cases it cannot be paid on filing (as currently you cannot pay it more than 3 months in advance, and in our cases it is often not due for 5 months at the time of filing). Possible candidate for a future fix?

Well, this is just one of these things were different users may have contradicting requirements due to their difference in business behaviour. Our procedural specifiers have opted for the default selection paired with a yellow warning message in order to serve the majority of users. If this is really bugging you, I recommend to make use of the template feature of OLF and simply fill-in your permanent data items and de-select the renewal fee and save as template - then using this template instead will be more in tune with your requirement.

Does this make sense to you?

Hi Thorsten
Yes I need to set up a few templates I think.
Thanks for the advice
