PCT Filing

The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) is an efficient and cost-effective way to enter into the patenting process in many countries at one time. Although the PCT procedure does not result directly in the issuance of any national patents, it provides several important benefits for applicants contemplating foreign filing. The most important objective of the PCT is to simplify and to render more effective and economical in the interests of the users of the patent system and the offices that have responsibility for administering it.
