Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Information
For general information concerning PCT member States, see the PCT
Applicant's Guide on the website of the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) at https://www.wipo.int/pct/en/guide/index.html.
For information relating to International Searching Authorities (ISA)
under the PCT, including information on subject matter under Rule 39 that a
particular ISA is not required to search, see Annex D of the PCT
Applicants' Guide.
The following information is provided in relation to the ISAs (other
than the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)) available for
international applications filed under the PCT with the USPTO as receiving
Office (RO/US).
European Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The European Patent Office (EPO) may act as the International Searching
Authority (ISA) or the International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA)
for an international application filed with the United States Receiving
Office or the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving Office where at least
one of the applicants is either a national or resident of the United States
of America. The EPO, effective January 1, 2015, no longer has any
limitations concerning its competency to act as an ISA. The announcement
appears in the Official Gazette at 1412 O.G. 61 on March 10, 2015.
Previously, the EPO would not act as an ISA and would not carry out an
international search for any application which contained one or more claims
relating to the field of business methods. As of January 1, 2015, U.S.
applicants filing their international applications with the USPTO or the IB
as receiving Office may select the EPO to act as the ISA without
restrictions. In applications containing claims relating to business
methods where the subject matter of the application also contains technical
features, the EPO will perform a search for those parts of the application
which are more than mere business methods. However, the EPO may issue a
declaration under PCT Rule 17(2)(a) that no ISR will be established
whenever an application relates only to a business method as such. The EPO
will act as an IPEA only if it also acted as the ISA.
Korean Intellectual Property Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The Korean Intellectual Property Office may act as the ISA or the IPEA
for an international application filed with the United States Receiving
Office or the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving Office where at least
one of the applicants is either a national or resident of the United States
of America. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette at 1302 O.G.
1261 on January 17, 2006.
Australian Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The Australian Patent Office (IP Australia) may act as the ISA or the
IPEA for an international application filed with the United States
Receiving Office or the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving Office where
at least one of the applicants is either a national or resident of the
United States of America. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette
at 1337 O.G. 265, on December 23, 2008. However, the use of IP Australia is
restricted. IP Australia will not act as an ISA if it has received more
than 250 international applications from the USPTO during a fiscal quarter,
as indicated in the Official Gazette at 1409 O.G. 302 on December 30, 2014.
IP Australia will act as an IPEA only if it also acted as the ISA.
The Federal Service on Intellectual Property, Patents & Trademarks of
Russia as Searching and Examining Authority
The Federal Service on Intellectual Property, Patents & Trademarks of
June 28, 2022
US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
1499 OG 394
Russia (Rospatent) may act as the ISA or the IPEA for an international
application filed with the United States Receiving Office or the
International Bureau (IB) as Receiving Office where at least one of the
applicants is either a national or resident of the United States of
America. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette at 1378 O.G. 162
on May 8, 2012.
Israel Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The Israel Patent Office (ILPO) may act as the ISA or the IPEA for an
international application filed with the United States Receiving Office or
the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving Office where at least one of the
applicants is either a national or resident of the United States of
America. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette at 1408 O.G. 52
on November 4, 2014. Previously, the ILPO would not act as an ISA for
applications with one or more claims relating to a business method as
defined by certain International Patent Classification classes nor would
the ILPO act as an ISA where it had received more than 75 international
applications from the USPTO during a fiscal quarter, as indicated in the
Official Gazette at 1408 O.G. 52 on November 4, 2014. As of April 10, 2016,
U.S. applicants filing their international applications with the USPTO or
the IB as receiving Office may select the ILPO to act as the ISA without
restriction as to subject matter. Additionally, the quarterly limit
accepted by the ILPO has been increased to 100 international applications
during a fiscal quarter. See the Official Gazette at 1432 O.G. 264 on
November 22, 2016. The ILPO will act as an IPEA only if it also acted as
the ISA.
Japan Patent Office as Searching and Examining Authority
The Japan Patent Office (JPO) may act as the ISA or the IPEA for an
international application filed with the United States Receiving Office or
the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving Office where at least one of the
applicants is either a national or resident of the United States of
America. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette at 1417 O.G. 63
on August 4, 2015. Previously, the JPO would act as an ISA for applications
only where the claims of the application were directed to the field of
green technology as defined by certain International Patent Classification
classes and where the JPO had not received more than 5,000 international
applications from the USPTO during the 3 year period from July 1, 2015 to
June 30, 2018, and not more than 300 applications per quarter during the
first year, and not more than 475 application per quarter during the second
and third years, as indicated in the Official Gazette at 1417 O.G. 63 on
August 4, 2015. As of July 1, 2018, U.S. applicants filing their
international applications with the USPTO or the IB as receiving Office may
select the JPO to act as the ISA without restriction as to subject matter.
Additionally, the numerical limitations have been revised in that the JPO
will act as an ISA where the JPO has not received more than 8,400
international applications from the USPTO during the 5-year period from
July 01, 2018, to June 30, 2023, and not more than 300 applications per
quarter during the first and second years, and not more than 500
applications per quarter during the third, fourth, and fifth years. See the
Official Gazette at 1454 O.G. 51 on September 04, 2018. The JPO will act
as an IPEA only if it also acted as the ISA.
Intellectual Property Office of Singapore as Searching and Examining
Authority
The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) may act as the ISA
or the IPEA for an international application filed with the United States
Receiving Office or the International Bureau (IB) as Receiving Office where
at least one of the applicants is either a national or resident of the
United States of America. The announcement appears in the Official Gazette
at 1425 O.G. 190 on April 19, 2016. The IPOS will act as an IPEA only if it
also acted as the ISA.
