Is there a way to request early publication of a PCT application? My client would like something on the record to show his international distributors. No priority was claimed and now at five months after filing. No corresponding U.S. application.

thanks,

George

Answering my own question - yes

48.4       Earlier Publication on the Applicant's Request

(a)  Where the applicant asks for publication under Articles 21(2)(b) and 64(3)(c)(i) and the international search report, or the declaration referred to in Article 17(2)(a) , is not yet available for publication together with the international application, the International Bureau shall collect a special publication fee whose amount shall be fixed in the Administrative Instructions.

Now I just need to find out what the fee is.
