Currently, on the International Bureau Filing System ("IBFS") reports, the fee status is shown as "Filed — fee not required." There is a required fee for these applications and, as Rainbow DBS mentioned in its applications, it "will submit fee and Form 159 by hand delivery to Pittsburgh" as permitted by the Commission‘s rules. Apparently, IBFS associates checking the "Other" field with a fee not being required as opposed to Rainbow DBS‘s intention, which was to indicate that it would be filing the fee and Form 159 through Pittsburgh. Thus, the appropriate text in the "Current Status" field should read "Filed — awaiting fee verification." In a conversation with International Bureau staff, it was suggested that we clarify the fee status and submit a letter to insure that the proper application submission ID numbers are associated with the proper applications so that the fees can be properly verified once they are submitted. Accordingly, please find the application submission ID numbers with their corresponding applications:
