PCT patent

If the appHcant decides to proceed, the PCT patent appHcation will pubHsh. At this time, the appHcant may either proceed to file the PCT patent appHcation in each designated national country or request examination of the PCT appHcation within the framework of the PCT. If the appHcant requests examination of the patent appHcation within the PCT, an Examiner will file a written action. The appHcant may then amend the appHcation by resubmitting new claims and new appHcation pages. 

These amendments to the appHcation can be made in English. The Examiner reviews the appHcant s submissions and issues a final written opinion on the patentabiHty of the appHcation. At this time, the appHcant must pursue national filings within those national and regional patent offices in which the appHcant intends to obtain protection. Copies of the PCT patent appHcation and written opinion are then distributed to the National Patent Office by the World International Patent Office (WIPO).
