I think this has come up before on this list. There appears to be no mechanism at the PCT for determining which countries a patentee actually pays national stage fees and pursues a grant. The EPO is different. The legal status databases such as INPADOC and EPAT have the designated states for EP-B patents.

Does anyone have a source for determining the truly designated states (DS)
on PCT applications? and for verifying EP DSs ?
