When a patent application is filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), it is initially filed with an international application receiving office (ARO). The international application is then subjected to a formalities examination by an International Searching Authority (ISA), which provides an international search report (ISR) and a written opinion on patentability. After that, the applicant has the option to enter the national phase in various countries by filing a national application within a certain period, usually 30 or 31 months from the priority date. During the national phase, the applicant must comply with the requirements of each national or regional patent office, including paying the required fees and filing translations of the application and other documents as necessary. The examination and grant of the patent are then handled by the national or regional patent office, based on their own laws and regulations. The national phase application process can be complex and time-consuming, and it may involve different requirements and procedures in each country. It is often advisable to seek the assistance of a patent attorney or agent who is familiar with the relevant laws and practices in the countries where protection is sought. | |
