How do I file an application through the Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT)?

An international application may be initiated by a resident or national of a PCT contracting country wanting to seek protection in other PCT contracting states. To apply, an applicant would file an international application with the patent office in his home country or the International Bureau of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation) in Geneva.

The list of PCT contracting countries and PCT Applicants Guide are available at the WIPO website [The PCT Applicant's Guide ].
