More than 100 representatives from local companies, intermediary agencies and intellectual property administrations participated in a recent workshop in Suzhou on the international Patent Cooperation Treaty.
Experts and officials from the World Intellectual Property Organization and the State Intellectual Property Office outlined a wide range of PCT issues, including the latest developments in China, strategic use for companies and application procedures with SIPO.
The meeting was designed to give companies a better understanding of the PCT system so they can better use it to increase their international patents, organizers said.
