Deferring the expense of national phase applications gives applicants additional time to consider the invention's commercial viability, which is one important benefit of a PCT application. Since the PCT maintains alternatives open in many nations and allows licensees to cover the expenses of prosecution in any nations they are interested in, it is also a desirable option for applicants who want to locate licensees for their foreign patent rights.
Another benefit is that a PCT application is automatically subject to both search and examination. This information can be used to assess the likelihood of receiving granted patents and the potential scope of protection before incurring significant filing and prosecution expenses. The PCT method allows for central prosecution before a single patent office and can be utilized to cut down on the number of objections that must be answered in subsequent proceedings before other patent offices, minimizing the expense of prosecution. The PCT application path is initially more expensive because to the PCT application filing costs, but it may end up being more affordable overall due to accelerated prosecutions.
