Where to File? Strategic Considerations for Direct Filings and PCT National Phase Entry

Deciding where to obtain patent protection is a potential minefield as there are so many factors at play. Speed of obtaining a patent can be key, as well as cost, but there are many other aspects to consider, such as where the product will be manufactured and sold, the potential market size, the legal requirements in each jurisdiction, and the location of key competitors. In this webinar, we will look at how these can be balanced to provide a tailored country list to suit your needs.

Practical discussion will include:

• Where/how can I get a patent granted quickly?
• Which ISA will be most helpful in the national/regional phases?
• Strategies for minimizing filing costs
