Kind code has not been upgraded

[jjyotimistry]

The date of completion of PCT Chapter II Report on Patentability (PCT International Application No.: PCT/IN2012/000268) was 04-09-2013. Got positive report on all the claims, but until today, the kind code has not been ungraded from A to B. Also seems that the Chapter II Report has not been provided with the national phase entries. Facing the same objections and citations in national phase entries, those were already addressed during PCT phase. Please advice.

If you are referring to the kind code on the search report mailed on 21 September 2012, it will remain the same regardless of the positive changes given on the IPRP II completed on 04 September 2013. The latter has been distributed to the elected Offices. You have entered two national phases, namely, EP and JP according to PATENTSCOPE : https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf;jsessionid=D99762FDE24622A10EF6A3DBC961DEEE.wapp1nC?docId=WO2012143940&recNum=1&tab=NationalPhase&maxRec=&office=&prevFilter=&sortOption=&queryString= 

Even if the IPEA has given a positive report as you had overcome all objections under Article  34 amendment the applicant may need to provide further explanations during the national phase especially when the search report bears negative codes such as X.  Therefore, it would be safer to contact the national Offices you are still facing objections and transmit the IPRP II dated 04 September 2013 directly to it if required.
