**PCT Application Details:**
- PCT Application Number: [PCT_APPLICATION_NUMBER]
- International Filing Date: [INTERNATIONAL_FILING_DATE]
- Earliest Priority Date (if applicable): [PRIORITY_DATE]
- International Publication Date: [PUBLICATION_DATE]

**Applicant Profile:**
- Applicant Type: [APPLICANT_TYPE] (Options: Large Entity / Small Entity / University / Individual)

- Technical Field: [TECHNICAL_FIELD]
- Desired Examination Timeline: [EXAM_TIMELINE] (Standard/Accelerated/PPH candidate)
- Specific Concerns: [SPECIFIC_CONCERNS]

**Required Output Structure:**

## 1. ⚠️ URGENT DEADLINE ANALYSIS
- Calculate the exact 30-month deadline date from the earliest priority date (or filing date if no priority)
- Identify current status: (a) In time, (b) Late entry possible (with fees), or (c) Restoration required
- List all absolute deadlines with specific calendar dates
- Flag any grace period provisions applicable

## 2. MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST
Create a checkbox-style list for:
- [ ] Canadian Patent Agent appointment (mandatory for non-residents)
- [ ] Language of filing (English vs. French) and translation requirements
- [ ] Sequence listing compliance (WIPO Standard ST.26 validation)
- [ ] Small entity declaration requirements and documentation
- [ ] Power of Attorney formalities
- [ ] Priority document submission (if not already done via IB)

## 3. FEE CALCULATION TABLE
Provide current CIPO fee structure (CAD):
- Basic national phase filing fee
- Examination fee (distinguish between filing-time vs. deferred request)
- Late entry surcharge (if applicable)
- Small entity discounts (verify eligibility criteria)
- Estimated total for selected strategy

## 4. STEP-BY-STEP FILING PROCEDURE
Detail the exact submission process:
- Online filing via CIPO's patent portal vs. physical submission
- Required forms and their specific CIPO form numbers
- Amendment strategy: Article 34 amendments vs. national phase amendments under Section 29 of Patent Rules
- Statement of entitlement requirements (inventorship/ownership)

## 5. CANADA-SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE ALERTS
Highlight unique Canadian requirements:
- Marking requirements ("patent pending" regulations)
- Duty of candor disclosure obligations
- Election restrictions (no election of species required unlike US)
- Divisional application timing limitations
- Maintenance fee schedule post-grant (distinguish from pre-grant)

## 6. STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the ISR opinion and technical field:
- Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) eligibility and timing
- Accelerated examination pathways
- Amendment suggestions to overcome likely objections
- Continuation/divisional strategy for broad claims

## 7. POST-FILING ROADMAP
- Expected timeline from national phase entry to first office action
- Examination request deadline calculation (5 years from filing)
- Annual maintenance fee deadlines (even while pending)

**Tone:** Professional, precise, with red-flag warnings ⚠️ for irreversible deadlines and green checkmarks ✅ for completed requirements. Include specific CIPO rule citations (Patent Rules sections) where relevant.
