The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) simplifies the process of filing patents in multiple countries by providing a standardized international application. Through LexGeneris, businesses can file a single application and avoid the complexity of managing separate national filings.
Key Advantages of the PCT System
One Application, Multiple Countries: The PCT allows a single filing that covers over 150 member countries.
International Search: The system provides an early assessment of patentability, giving businesses a clear understanding of whether their invention will be granted patent protection.
Cost Efficiency: The PCT reduces the need for repeated filing, translating to lower overall costs.
The PCT is a powerful tool for businesses looking to streamline their patent applications worldwide and ensure broader protection.
