When you start up PatXML you will see the PatXML wizard. Creating a new patent application is as easy as these three steps:
-
1. Select the application type. The options are EP, PCT or US applications.
-
2. Define the document structure. Define the file reference ID, the language of your application and the headings that you require.
The file reference ID field allows a maximum of 10 characters and, if specified, will be displayed in shadowed text in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Mandatory sections and headers are already ticked.
-
3. Complete the PatXML wizard. The newly created document will open in Word, and you can continue customising your document.
