Hat tip to Peter Zura at the 271 blog for the practice-tip reminder that you must now replace all claims when making amendments in PCT applications (not just the pages on which amendments are made). Peter points to the USPTO Notice on his blog, though take note that the USPTO is merely implementing a change in the PCT Rules (specifically Rule 66.8), effective July 1.
Accordingly, practitioners should recognize that this is a PCT Rule (not just US), so likewise take note if you selected another office (such as the European Patent Office, the Korean IP Office, or IP Australia) for search and examination to prevent your claim amendments from being bounced.
