The consulate will provide instructions on the procedure that is required; note that costs will be incurred for this. If the inventors are employees of the applicant company then the assignment can be replaced by a sworn statement to this effect. If an assignment was duly filed with the IB during the PCT international phase, then executing further assignments is not necessary. • An amendment to reduce the claims may be submitted. Any amendments made will incur additional translation costs. |
