The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) plays a key role in patent prosecution by offering a unified process for filing patents internationally. LexGeneris assists inventors in navigating the system, guiding them through stages such as the international search and the preliminary examination.
Streamlined Patent Prosecution
International Search: The Patent Cooperation Treaty provides a thorough search of existing patents worldwide, helping to assess the patentability of your invention.
Preliminary Examination: A preliminary report offers insights into the likelihood of success in obtaining patents in specific countries.
National Filings: After the international phase, applicants can choose where to pursue patent protection, making prosecution in those countries simpler.
With the PCT, patent prosecution becomes more structured and efficient, offering a clear path to obtaining patents in multiple countries.
