PCT Application:

PCT Application is an international patent application filed at WIPO or receiving office. India is a member of the Patent Co-operation Treaty which entails Indian citizens to file patent applicantions in the member countries of the PCT as well as entails foreign and Indian applicant to get patent protection in India by entering into the national-phase PCT application after filing their application at WIPO.

The advantage of filing a PCT application is that whereas conventionally, complete specification needs to be filed within one year from priority application, in case of PCT applications this can be extended to around 30 months depending on country-specific patent laws. In India, the timeline is 31 months. Further, on the basis of the international search report from the International Search Authority [ISA] or the written opinion, the applicant can evaluate with reasonable patentability of the invention in the regions or countries where the patent is sought.

At Intepat, our well-experienced team handles the PCT Applications with ease. We have had the experience of filing PCT application of applicant entering into India through the national-phase PCT applications. Also, there have been many instances wherein we have successfully handled PCT applications of Indian applicants.
