International Preliminary
Search & Examination
Background
All International Applications filed after 1st January 2004 will
follow a modified system of international search and
preliminary examination. In the process for applications
filed prior to 2004, an applicant received an international
search report during the first part of the PCT process
(Chapter I) and then had the option of utilizing the
preliminary examination procedure (Chapter II) if
circumstances and advantages of the procedure warranted
the additional cost. As of April 2002, most PCT contracting
states gave an applicant 30 months from the priority date to
complete national entry; a few states maintain(ed)
reservations, requiring an applicant to file a DEMAND by
19 months to utilize Chapter II to extend the time for entry
from 20 to 30 months.
