The International Bureau has developed a revised stylesheet that shows the changes made to an application through rectifications, corrections, and amendments in the international phase (see Circular C. PCT 1656). This has eliminated the need for sheet‑based processing at the International Bureau for processing full text applications where previously the International Bureau had been doing “double work” modifying the full text and the sheet image-based documents in parallel.
The new stylesheet is already in use and the International Bureau would welcome any suggestions for further improvements.
