deadline for converting a provisional into PCT
« on: 03-18-09 at 11:35 pm »
The one year anniversary of the filing date of my US provisional application falls on a Saturday.

Do I have until the following business day to convert the provisional application into a PCT application?

Thanks.

   35USC§119(3)(3)  states

If the day that is 12 months after the filing date of a provisional application falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday within the District of Columbia, the period of pendency of the provisional application shall be extended to the next succeeding secular or business day.
