Which WIPO service allows applicants to file a single international patent application that has the effect of a national application in over 150 contracting states?

  1. Madrid System
  2. Hague System
  3. Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
  4. Lisbon Agreement

Answer: Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)

The PCT system simplifies seeking patent protection internationally. Applicants file one 'international' application (in one language, with one office), which preserves rights in designated countries while deferring national phase costs and allowing time to assess commercial potential.
