147. The receiving Office checks whether the application contains an abstract as provided for in Article 14(1)(a)(iv) but not whether the abstract complies with Rule 8 (in particular, it is not the receiving Office’s responsibility to check whether the abstract contains more than 150 words in English or when translated into English). If the receiving Office invites (Form PCT/RO/106) the applicant to furnish a missing abstract, it notifies the International Bureau and also the International Searching Authority accordingly (Rule 38.1 and paragraph 153).
