What Is The Patent Cooperation Treaty? 



The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) is an inter national agreement for the filing international patent applications in participating member countries. An inventor can file a single international patent application in one language with one patent office in order to simultaneously seek protection for an invention in multiple participating countries. A list of participating member countries can be found at the website for the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). A patent will prevent another from practicing your invention, and provides you the exclusive control over how to make, use and offer to sell/license your invention. Through the PCT our international patent attorneys can assist you in seeking international patent protection for your inventions.  For more information on filing a patent cooperation follow this link: Filing a Patent Cooperation Treaty Patent Application .
