 | | The Patent Cooperation Treaty was signed in Washington on June 19, 1970, and entered into force on January 21, 1978 initially with 18 Contracting States. | | | The Patent Law Treaty (PLT) is a patent law multilateral treaty concluded on June 1, 2000 in Geneva, Switzerland, by 53 States and one intergovernmental organization, the European Patent Organisation. | | | The main advantages of the PCT procedure, also referred to as the international procedure, are the possibility to delay as much as possible the national or regional procedures, and the respective fees and translation costs, and the unified filing procedure. |

| | PCT applications published before 1997 may be consulted on the European Patent Office's esp@cenet database. | | | Patent titles in DWPI have been re-written to make them meaningful and help users to identify quickly which patents relate to their work. | | | The difference between esp@cenet on the UK Patent Office site and esp@cenet on the European Patent Office site is that one can only search for European patents or world patents on the European site and one can search not only European patents or world patents, but also individual European countries' patents including GB patents. |
