PCT Application Attorneys in Oklahoma

U.S. patent rights extend only throughout the territory of the United States and do not provide protection in other countries for inventions. Almost every country has its own patent law, and inventors must make an application for patent in each country in which they wish to secure intellectual property rights, in accordance with that country’s requirements. Fortunately, several international treaties exist to simplify the process of applying for international patent protection, including the Paris Convention Treaty and the Patent Cooperation Treaty, otherwise known as the PCT.

PCT countries have agreed that a patent filed in one country can be filed in another country with a PCT application. Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable attorneys can advise you whether to file a PCT application, depending on whether you plan to enter foreign markets. In addition, we can conduct a thorough search for conflicting patents and enter the PCT application into the national patent office of each of the countries from which you want to secure patent protection.
