`PROTECTING YOUR INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a US. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have
`no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a
`patent in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an
`international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application
`generally has the same effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The
`PCT process simplifies the filing of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but
`does not result in a grant of "an international patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file
`additional documents and fees in countries where patent protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must
`make an application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many
`countries differ in various respects from the patent law of the United States, applicants are advised t
