4.18: Startups and small entities can now claim search-fee reduction more easily"},"content":{"rendered":"<div style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On 13 October 2026, the Indian Patent Office, through a public announcement, informed stakeholders that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">ePCT Version 4.18<\/span> introduces two important features for applicants designating India as the International Searching Authority (ISA\/IN) while filing <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)<\/span> international applications through ePCT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Key Takeaways:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p>The earlier &#8220;Fee Reduction Entitlement&#8221; option available in the filing options section of ePCT has been replaced with a dedicated &#8220;Search Fee Reduction Entitlement&#8221; dropdown under the International Search section whenever ISA\/IN is selected.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The feature applies across all Receiving Offices where ISA\/IN is competent, including:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>RO\/IB;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>RO\/IN;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>RO\/IR; and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>RO\/JP.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The dropdown menu provides two options:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>Not specified; and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Startup, small entity or educational institution.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img

the applicant is a natural person and not a legal entity, no separate indication is required for fee reduction purposes and the applicable fee reduction is automatically reflected in the fee calculation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Applicants claiming eligibility as a startup, small entity or educational institution must select the relevant option in the dropdown menu.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Supporting documentary evidence must be uploaded to substantiate the claim for fee reduction.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>ePCT Version 4.18 also introduces a new feature allowing applicants filing through RO\/IN to view a detailed fee calculation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>While preparing a new international application, applicants can view the applicable fees through the &#8220;Show Fees&#8221; option.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/17-30_ePCT-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"936\"

and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Applicable fee reductions, where eligible.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

submission of the PCT international application, fee details will also be available through a document titled &#8220;Fee Calculation Sheet&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:
