Beskrivelse
'I recently read The Practitioner's Guide to the PCT, [Second Edition], and I must say, it is a must-read for anyone interested in the patent cooperation treaty (PCT).The book is well-written and easy to understand, even if you don't have a legal background. The authors have done an excellent job of breaking down the complex PCT process into simple steps, making it easy to follow and understand.The guide is comprehensive, covering everything from the basics of the PCT to more useful and advanced topics like Procedural Safeguards: helpful options when things go wrong amendments, PCT strategies and recommendations, Selecting Countries for National Filing and Patent Prosecution Highway to name a few. One of the things I appreciated about this book is that it doesn't just provide information on the PCT process, but it also offers practical tips and advice for practitioners. The authors share insights and strategies based on their years of experience, which is invaluable for anyone looking to navigate the PCT system.'-Goutam Bhattacharyya (Dr.), Partner, K&S PartnersWhen it is used appropriately, the PCT is a cost-effective option for international patent protection and provides numerous benefits for applicants, patent offices, and third parties. With opaque rules and obscure terminology, using the PCT can cause confusion and is a difficult system to master. Based on the authors' many years of experience with the system and the important lessons they have learned from prior mistakes, The Practitioner's Guide to the PCT, Second Edition demystifies the system to help practitioners employ the PCT to their client's advantage. Starting with a clear explanation of the PCT's framework, the book's in-depth chapters equip applicants with the tools necessary to effectively use this global, treaty-based system. Topics covered include: PCT requirements and proceduresInternational search and preliminary examinationPost-filing procedures: publication, withdrawals, and recording changesProcedural safeguardsStrategies and guidelines for entering the national phaseEntry into the national phase in the U.S., Europe, China, and elsewhereStrategies and recommendations for a PCT applicationIn addition, The Practitioner's Guide to the PCT includes invaluable supplemental materials, including WIPO resources, glossaries of terms and abbreviations, and an informed discussion on the future of the PCT.
