Are there any warnings provided by EFS-Web when submitting reproductions for international design applications?

Yes, EFS-Web provides several warnings to users when submitting reproductions for international design applications. According to MPEP 2909.02(a), these warnings include:

1. JPEG submissions:
   

   “For JPEG submissions, EFS-Web will provide warnings where requirements pertaining to image resolution and minimum and maximum dimensions have not been satisfied.”

2. Attaching via “Attach Documents other than Reproductions” section:
   

   “EFS-Web will provide a warning to users about the possibility of incurring additional per page publication fees where reproductions are attached via the “Attach Documents other than Reproductions” section.”

3. Missing reproductions:
   

   “EFS-Web will also provide a warning to users where a new international design application does not contain an indication that at least one reproduction is attached.”

These warnings are designed to help users avoid common mistakes and potential additional fees. However, it’s important to note that EFS-Web does not check all requirements, and it remains the applicant’s responsibility to ensure all submissions meet the necessary criteria.
