A The date on which a PCT application enters the national stage at the USPTO is not the filing date of the application; the filing date is the date on which the PCT application was first filed. Consequently, / shows the filing date of the PCT application, not the date on which it entered the national stage at the USPTO. For patent grant publications, the date that the application entered the national stage is contained in //. For patent application publications, the element is not populated, since there is no legal need for it at the time the application is published. 67 Q Effective with issue November 30, 2004, ST32 Red Book is populating the B680US status information in the dtxt field of the doc element as shown below: 60/423232 20021101 00 abandoned
