Paris Convention Patent Filing
The Paris Convention, also referred to as direct filing, is an international treaty that allows applicants to first file their patent application in their home country as a domestic application. This option serves as an alternative to filing a PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) application. The patent application filed under this convention is commonly known as the "priority document," and the date of filing is referred to as the "priority date."
Patent Priority Document
The patent priority document is initially filed alongside the first application. Subsequently, one or more additional patent applications are filed under the Paris Convention, based on the content of this priority patent document. If the Paris Convention application covers the same subject matter as the previous priority document, it will be considered to have the same filing date as the priority document. Direct patent recording or filing is an alternative method used when the applicant wants to protect their invention in non-PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) countries.
One of the benefits of obtaining a patent through the Paris Convention is that the convention period of 12 months allows the applicant to seek funding, conduct market research, and develop their idea into a commercial product. These activities can be carried out after a single filing without compromising the rights in other countries. Furthermore, if the desired number of foreign patent application countries is limited (e.g., three or fewer countries), filing a patent under the Paris Convention proves to be more cost-effective than opting for the PCT system.
Advantages of the Paris Convention
International Direct Filings for Non-PCT Countries:
One of the advantages of the Paris Convention is that it allows applicants to file for patent protection in countries that are not part of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). Although there are overlapping members between the two treaties, several countries are excluded from the PCT system, such as Taiwan and Argentina. If the applicant wishes to be granted patent protection from these nations, they will be required to conduct foreign patent direct filings via the Paris Convention.
12 Months Grace Period:
The Paris Convention offers a 12-month grace period, which is beneficial for applicants who require a quick turnaround time for patent protection. Within this period, applicants can file for patent protection in designated countries. In contrast, the PCT system has a longer time frame of 30 months prior to the National phase, and it also delays entry into the examination queue by over 18 months. Therefore, the Paris Convention is more suitable for applicants seeking a faster process.
Potential for Lower Overall Costs:
For patent applicants with limited budgets, the Paris Convention route may be advantageous as it can potentially result in lower overall costs compared to the PCT. The PCT system has higher up-front fees, making the Paris Convention more cost-effective, especially if the applicant intends to file for patent protection in a small number of selected countries. Additionally, if translations are not required for the designated countries, the cost savings can be even greater.
