Foreign Patent Filing and PCT Applications

 

I.                   Why to Foreign File?

Many people think that there is an all encompassing international patent;

unfortunately, there really is not.  Your U.S. filed patent application is only good in the United States.  Thus, in order to obtain foreign patent rights, you must file separately in each foreign country because the patent laws of each country are different.  With that understood, Patent Cooperation Treaty applications (PCT) can be filed designating multiple foreign countries.  This is discussed in further detail in section II below.
