What is PCT?
PCT is an acronym for "Patent Cooperation Treaty."
It is an international agreement represented by the International Patent Organization that allows patent applicants to file patent applications in several countries simultaneously through a unified process.
With the help of the PCT, patent applicants can file one patent application in several countries simultaneously, thus concentrating on examining the patent concept and the main official process, and only then examining whether to continue to register for patents in specific registration countries. PCT also makes it possible to bring the patent for review at a later time, enables international coordination of patents, and helps marketers and entrepreneurs focus on product development and marketing rather than building legal infrastructures in each country separately.
In fact, this is an international filing with a preliminary right to discuss the patent about a year and a half after its filing. PCT is valid for 18 months. PCT is an important tool in the world of patents and intellectual property, facilitating the registration and protection of patents at an international level.
