Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Applications
The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) is an international agreement that allows inventors and companies to seek patent protection in multiple countries with a single application. By filing one international patent application under the PCT, applicants can simultaneously pursue protection for their invention in a large number of member countries.
The PCT also assists national and regional patent offices in their examination process and provides the public with access to valuable technical information about published inventions.
At Patent360, our team and our USPTO-registered patent practitioner guide clients through the PCT filing process, helping to streamline international patent protection and strategically position inventions in the global market.
