Paris Convention Filing: Patent Filing Services

Patent holders can choose to file directly under the provisions of the Paris Convention, either as an alternative to or in combination with filing via the PCT process. The Paris Convention route is the only option when filing in non-PCT countries such as Argentina, Venezuela and Taiwan. It is also the preferred method when filing in just a handful of countries because of lower upfront costs, or when an invention needs quick grant, since it ensures faster examination and likely faster approval.
