The difference between international patent and pct patent application, and how to apply for foreign patent.

International patent and pct patent application are similar, and there is no difference. Applying for international patent is becoming a popular trend in China. There are two forms to apply for an international patent, among which PCT patent application belongs to one. PCT patent application is an international application submitted to the International Bureau, and the applicant must entrust a foreign-related patent agency to represent the PCT application. Beijing Gaowo has rich experience in patent application.
