FORUM!Live: PCT Formalities [Advanced] - Goal-oriented Guide to the Formal Requirements

"This advanced seminar aims to enhance the understanding of PCT formal requirements by discussing them in relation to specific goals. PCT can be used in many different ways. By explaining why each option is chosen, participants gain an in-depth appreciation of their contribution to the goals of the applicant, and the possible benefits and risks of each option. - Goals covered include reducing filing errors and defects, reducing administration during the national phases, fixing problems during search, improving the quality and speed of the patentability opinions, increasing the value of the application for the applicant, fixing unusual problems, and smoothing national entry. - Participants will have the opportunity to raise questions on all aspects of the procedure as it applies during the international phase and on entry into the national/regional phase."
