assistant: Assuming that the amendment under Article 19 or 34 made during the international phase is entered in the U.S. national stage application (this will not be the case where, for example, a required English translation of the amendment is not timely furnished), the status identifier, "previously presented", should be used for renumbered claims that are not being amended in the preliminary amendment. The status identifier, "currently amended", should be used for renumbered claims that are being amended in the preliminary amendment. For example, an applicant filed an international application that originally included independent claim 1, and dependent claims 2, 3 and 4. During the international stage, Claim 1 was amended, claim 3 was canceled, and claim 4 was renumbered as claim 3. If the amendment made during the international phase is entered in the U.S. national stage application, then a preliminary amendment adding two new claims would include a claim listing as follows: Claim 1 (previously presented)  Claim 2 (original)  Claim 3 (previously presented)  Claim 4 (new)  Claim 5 (new)
