\u0026 nbsp ;	[ 123] ■ \u0026 nbsp; The main purpose of PCT		]
	Before introducing the PCT system, the only way to protect the invention in several countries is to submit an application separately; these applications must be processed separately, so the application and review of each country must be repeat. In order to achieve its due purpose, the PCT proposed:		-Encing an international system, so as to make a patent application (international application) proposed by a language in a patent bureau (acceptance bureau) Each PCT member states of the applicant's application (specified) are valid;
The above -mentioned \"international stage\" is usually called the PCT program, but the PCT is not authorized by international patents. The task and responsibility of granting patents can only be performed by patent bureaus or exercise of its powers of various countries seeking patent protection. Organize the \"national stage\". The procedures for entering the national stage are not automatically occurred, and the applicant must be started.
	■ \u0026 nbsp; Advantages of submitting international patent applications through PCT channels [ 123] —— As long Application patents without having to submit patent applications to each country, which provides patent applicants for convenience to foreign countries. -When submitting an ordinary patent application to a foreign country, the applicant must submit a patent application to the patent bureau of each country within 12 months after submitting a patent application for the first time. Through PCT,Patent applicants can go through the procedures for international patent applications to enter each country within 20 months after submitting a patent application for the first time; if a preliminary international review is required, the international patent can be processed within 30 months after the first submission of the patent application for the first time. Apply for procedures for entering each country. This extends the time to enter the country. During this time, patent applicants can investigate the market, the business prospects of invention, and other factors. Before spending greater funds to enter the national stage, they decide whether to continue to apply for foreign patents. -The international patent application must be obtained by the international retrieval of the international retrieval unit to obtain a high -quality international search report. The international retrieval report gives one or more existing technical documents, so that patent applicants can understand the status of existing technology, but also preliminarily determine whether the invention has the prospect of granting patents. If international applications have undergone preliminary international review, patent applicants can also get a high -standard international preliminary review report made by preliminary international review units. If the international preliminary review report shows that the invention does not have novelty, creativity, and industrial practicality, patent applicants can consider no longer entering the national stage in order to save costs; on the contrary, they can determine the designated country according to the market layout and enter the national stage.		—— The amendment made by the international stage has effective in all designated bureaus to avoid changing the application of multiple countries separately, thereby saving expensive foreign agency fees.
