The PCT system (Patent Cooperation Treaty) enables the protection of an invention in its member states through a single international application.
It is not a patent granting system; rather, it is a system that consolidates the processing before grant during the national phase.
The application can be filed through WIPO or the chosen contracting state’s administration.
After the international phase, the applicant must apply for the patent in each desired country, where the application will follow the procedure according to national laws.
