International Patent Application| Worldwide Patent Protection| What is an international patent protection? What protection does a patent offer? A worldwide patent protection does not exist. However, worldwide patent protection is available. By filing an international patent application before WIPO or PCT application (Patent Cooperation Treaty), this protection can be arranged for a large number of countries under PCT. After filing PCT application, individual patent application has to be filed in every country via the PCT route. Global Network of Foreign Patent Attorneys: Over the years, we have formed closed association with foreign patent attorneys worldwide. The national phase patent application must be filed by a local patent attorney of the country in which patent protection is sought. We at Tech Corp Legal has a global partner network. Our Advantage: Since we act as one stop provider for your patent application many multi-national companies and businesses have chosen Tech Corp Legal LLP as their vendor to coordinate their international patent protection. Scope of Patent Protection: An invention is protected by way of filing a patent only in the countries in which the patent is applied for and granted by the patent office.
