- Patent Cooperation Treaty
-
- The United States is also a party to the Patent
- Cooperation Treaty (PCT), which provides procedures for
- filing patent applications in its member countries. The PCT
- allows an applicant to file one "international application"
- designating member countries in which a patent is sought,
- with the same effect as filing national applications in
- each of those countries. The applicant may then later
- proceed with the filing of separate "national" applications
- in those countries.
