This is the electronic forum of the PCT Working Group.

We want to make the process of improving the PCT as effective as possible for everyone who could be affected - applicants, Offices and third parties (whether they may be affected by patents granted on the basis of international applications, or simply wish to use the information made available by the system more effectively). Consequently, for the moment:

  • this forum is freely open for anyone to view;
  • anyone may make observations on any of the subjectscomments, but they need to have an account and login first.

The forum is divided into two areas:

  • Current consultations - the International Bureau will periodically post relatively detailed proposals and invite comments.
  • Ideas to improve the PCT - an area where short suggestions may be freely made at any time (the International Bureau will monitor this area, but will not necessarily comment on suggestions made).

Comments may be made in any language, but no translations will usually be made. Comments will be most effective in being understood and taken into account by the International Bureau if made in English or French.

Please keep comments as short as possible and relevant. Please also identify any Office, organisation or company which you are representing in your comments. Users posting "spam" messages are likely to have their accounts deleted. We will review the open nature of the system if there are frequent problems.
