Looking at the patent policy, I think it says there is a 60 day exclusion period after Last Call (it is 90 for FPWD).

This suggests that upon start of Last Call (e.g. publication), there must be a minimum of 60 days before a PR transition request may be made.

The relevant text from the patent policy is  "by using this exclusion procedure within 60 days after the publication of the Last Call Working Draft [PROCESS, section 7.4.2]. "

Thomas, can you please confirm the interpretation that we must wait 60 days from the Last Call publication before making a PR transition request?

Thanks

regards, Frederick
