NOTE 2. FUND BALANCE WITH TREASURY
Non-entity funds consist of amounts held on deposit for the convenience of USPTO customers and held on behalf of the WIPO and the EPO. Customers have the option of maintaining a deposit account at the USPTO to facilitate the order process. Customers can draw from their deposit account when they place an order and can replenish their deposit account as desired. Funds maintained in customer deposit accounts are not available for USPTO use until an order has been placed. Once an order has been placed, the funds are reclassified to entity funds. In addition, the USPTO collects international fees on behalf of WIPO and the EPO and remits these fees monthly.
As of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Fund balance with Treasury consisted of the following:
