Patent Cooperation Treaty
The United States is also a party to the Patent
Cooperation Treaty (PCT), which provides procedures for
filing patent applications in its member countries. The PCT
allows an applicant to file one "international application"
designating member countries in which a patent is sought,
with the same effect as filing national applications in
each of those countries. The applicant may then later
proceed with the filing of separate "national" applications
in those countries.
