File Wrappers

Q.

I ordered the copy of a document but only the document list was delivered.

A.

The document you ordered was not yet available by the time you ordered its copy. It happens when the document is not yet sent to the applicant, when the document is not yet filed by the applicant, or when the document is still in the course of formality check by the JPO.

If you find in the document list that the document was "方式未完(houshiki-mikan)"(the formality check is not yet completed), it indicates the formality check is not yet completed. Please order again after the document becomes available.
