You can now receive an estimate or place an order to file a PCT International application in the Questel 服务s Portal. To do so, select the Direct Filing option under the Filing and Translation project type.
On the Jurisdictions page of the workflow, under Patent Application Jurisdictions, choose PCT International. You can quickly find this option in the search field using the ‘IB’ jurisdiction code.
If PCT International is selected, two new fields are required.
To fill out the Receiving Office (RO) field, search by either RO code or name, e.g. IB - WIPO, EP - European Patent Office, or FR - France.
The options in the International 搜索 Authority (ISA) field are filtered based on the RO selection. When selecting Japan as an RO, for example, you can choose from EP, IN, SG or JP as an ISA. Some ROs have the Other option available, which can be selected if a less common ISA is used.
