Instead of a non-provisional PCT filing, can we directly file into the individual national phase countries? Ans: Yes you can!

Direct national foreign non-provisional applications VS PCT non-provisional application with national phase entries

  • saves the extra costs of an intermediate PCT

application

  • potentially earlier grant of a patent, because

no delay because of PCT prosecution (~18 months)

  • patent applications can be adapted according

to national requirements by introducing specific subject matter, without the danger of potentially invalidating the later granted patent or without creating a prosecution history estoppel

Direct national foreign non-provisional applications: PCT non-provisional application, followed by national/regional phases:

  • provides additional official search result before

spending high costs of national/regional patent applications

  • ptional: international preliminary examination
  • some countries accept positive International

Preliminary Report on Patentability (IPRP)

  • some countries accept International Search Report

(ISR)

  • Start-ups often prefer extra costs for PCT for delaying

the much higher costs of national/regional patent applications by 18 months (paid extension of time)

  • streamlining patent applications when an additional

inventive is brought in at the end of the priority year (think “D”)

  • more time to: evaluate the value of the invention,

develop international patent strategy, etc.
