Discussion topics will generally be posted by the International Bureau, who will closely follow subsequent discussions and make suggestions if necessary. Anyone interested in introducing a new discussion topic should first contact the International Bureau.
- Ideas for Improvement - an area to freely make suggestions on how to improve the functioning of the PCT - an area where short suggestions may be freely made at any time system (the International Bureau will monitor this area, but will not necessarily comment on suggestions made).
The forum aims to facilitate the process of improving the PCT system to be as effective as possible for 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)all stakeholders. Access to the forum is consequently provided as follows: - this the forum is freely open for anyone to view;
