In today’s global marketplace, protecting your invention internationally is vital. Australia’s patent system is harmonized with global standards and offers several avenues for international protection.

Using the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)

Australia is a member of the Patent Process, which allows applicants to file a single international application that can lead to patent protection in over 150 countries. The Australian application can serve as the basis for a PCT filing.

Paris Convention Priority Rights

Applicants can claim priority from their Australian application when filing in other countries under the Paris Convention within 12 months of the original filing date.
