The PCT provides a number of services for the purpose of preparing, filing and managing PCT international applications electronically.
As of July 1, 2022 the International Bureau no longer develops, distributes or supports PCT-SAFE software. If you are still filing with PCT-SAFE we advise you to start using ePCT-Filing as soon as possible.
