PCT Applicant’s Guide: eGuide now available in Japanese
WIPO has released a fully electronic “eGuide” version in Japanese of the PCT Applicant’s Guide, its comprehensive collection of practical, step-by-step information on using the PCT system.
In addition to the previously available HTML versions of the two general parts of the Guide – the introduction to the international phase and the introduction to the national phase – the eGuide content available in Japanese now includes the annexes covering fees, procedures and requirements applicable in all PCT Offices.
The new format offers Japanese-speaking users easier navigation and annexes will be updated regularly, giving users more timely access to the information they need.
The enhanced Japanese eGuide is the latest step in ongoing work to optimize the PCT Applicant’s Guide across multiple languages for a wide range of digital devices. Further enhancements are in the pipeline, and you are welcome to send feedback and suggestions to: pct.guide@wipo.int.
