I don't see a question mark anywhere in this so-called question. You state that you want to do something. Are we to answer: “bravo!”?– Andreas ZUERCHERCommented Apr 12, 2022 at 1:58

It's not necessary. It's a PCT filing, and the inventor has never filed any actual patent application in any country, except for provisional application in Australia. The inventor filed 4 provisional application in Australia in 2004, and all four of them are LAPSED.

I believe that the PCT application has not entered national phase yet (which should be near the end of 2016), so there is still the possibility of national applications being filed.– MacaCommented Mar 9, 2016 at 9:09

Yes, you are right. But if it hasn't entered national phase, is there any entity that allows for adding prior art citation?– danielCommented Mar 9, 2016 at 15:46

5There is! WIPO provides a facility for third party observations. The Patentscope page for this application contains a "Submit observation" button which can be used for this purpose. The submitted document will eventually be passed to the ISA/IPEA for consideration.– MacaCommented Mar 9, 2016 at 15:51

@Maca Either you or daniel should add the link to an actual answer rather than just leave it in a comment.– Eric SCommented Apr 3, 2017 at 15:06
