Patenting under the PCT system (Patent Cooperation Treaty)

  • priority is ensured almost all over the world in case of filing an application under the PCT procedure;
  • after filing an international application, the applicant, as a rule, has 30 months to decide on the advisability of patenting in specific foreign countries;
  • the work of patent offices in the national phase is greatly simplified by the international search report and written opinion on the PCT application;
  • If the invention is found to be unpatentable following the international phase, the applicant can abandon the application and avoid the costs of local patent attorneys, translations of application materials, and national fees.
