If you're an inventor or business based in Texas looking to protect your invention internationally, filing a PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) patent application is a smart move. At Affordable Patent Agency, we specialize in guiding innovators through the complexities of the PCT process with expert precision and cost-effective solutions.

The PCT system allows you to file a single international patent application that can later be pursued in over 150 participating countries, giving you the flexibility and time to decide where you want patent protection. Filing a PCT application doesn't grant you an international patent, but it streamlines the process by consolidating the initial phase into one application — saving both time and money.

Located in Texas, our team of registered Patent Agents and IP professionals at Affordable Patent Agency has extensive experience in filing PCT applications for startups, solo inventors, and established businesses alike. We handle the technical, legal, and administrative aspects, ensuring your application complies with all PCT regulations and is submitted without costly errors.

We begin by conducting a thorough patentability search and helping you draft a strong application that accurately protects your unique idea or invention. From there, we prepare and file the PCT application through the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), acting as the receiving office, and coordinate with the International Bureau (WIPO). This gives your invention immediate recognition in multiple jurisdictions while deferring the cost of filing in individual countries.
