Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)

International IP Treaties and Agreement

 So what is a Patent?

Protect inventions and discoveries, giving inventors exclusive rights to make,

use, and sell their creations.
 Patent Cooperation Treaty
The PCT is administered by the World International Property Organization, or

PCT WIPO.
the PCT standardizes how patent applications are filed, allowing inventors and
business owners to protect their inventions in other countries at the same time.
As a result, anyone with a novel idea can safeguard it by filing a single
international patent application rather than multiple national and regional
patent applications.
It may generally be filed with the national patent office of the contracting state
of which the applicant is a national or resident or, at the applicant's option, with
the International Bureau of WIPO in Geneva.
