PCT Applicant’s Guide: enhanced version of eGuide in Chinese

WIPO has released an enhanced version in Chinese of the textual portions of the PCT Applicant’s Guide, its comprehensive collection of useful information about the PCT system.

The new release includes HTML versions of the two general parts of the Guide – the Introduction to the International Phase and the Introduction to the National Phase – alongside the previously available pdf versions, making it easier for users to navigate through the text. 

The changes are the latest step in ongoing work to optimize the Guide for a wide range of digital devices by improving indexing, search and other functions. HTML versions of the general parts are already available in English, French, Japanese, Spanish and Russian, and a Korean version is in preparation.
