The PCT Strategy for Innovators
Filing a patent in every country individually is prohibitively expensive and logistically impossible. The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) is the gold standard for global innovation strategy.
- Priority Filing: Establish a global priority date for your invention.
- National Phase Entry: Choose only the countries that make strategic business sense when you reach the 30-month mark.
- Investor Confidence: A filed PCT application signals to venture capitalists and international partners that your technology is world-class and protected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there such a thing as a “World Patent”?
There is no single “World Patent.” A PCT application is a filing system that keeps your patent application alive in 150+ countries simultaneously. You still have to enter the “National Phase” in specific countries to eventually get a granted patent in each of them.
When is the best time to file PCT?
You should ideally file your PCT application within 12 months of your first Indian patent filing to claim the benefit of your original priority date.
Can EasyBiz360 help with national phase entry?
Yes. When the time comes to enter specific countries (like USA, EU, or Japan), we leverage our international network of patent attorneys to handle the local filing and prosecution for you.
