Annexes Glossary Applicant: An individual or legal entity that files a patent application. There may be more than one applicant in an application. For PCT statistics, the first-named applicant is used to determine the owner of a PCT application. Elected Office: The national or regional office of or acting for a state elected by the applicant under Chapter II of the PCT, at which the applicant intends to use the results of the international preliminary examination. Application: A set of legal documents submitted to a patent office requesting that a patent be granted for the applicant’s invention. The patent office examines the application and decides whether to grant a patent or reject the application. Authority specified for Supplementary International Search (SISA): An International Searching Authority (ISA) that provides a Supplementary International Search service – also known as Supplementary International Searching Authority (SISA). Chapter I of the PCT: The provisions in the PCT that regulate the filing of PCT applications, the establishment of international searches and written opinions by ISAs, and the international publication of PCT applications, and that provide for the communication of PCT applications and related documents to designated offices. Chapter II of the PCT: The provisions in the PCT that regulate the optional international preliminary examination procedure. Country of Origin: For statistical purposes, the country of origin of a PCT application is the country of residence (or nationality, in the absence of a valid residence) of the first-named applicant in the application. Designated Office (DO): A national or regional office of or acting for a state designated in a PCT application under Chapter I of the PCT. Designated State: A contracting state in which protection for the invention is sought, as specified in the PCT application. Filing Abroad: For statistical purposes, a patent application filed by a resident of a given country with a patent office of a foreign country. For example, a patent application filed with the USPTO by an applicant residing in France is considered a “filing abroad” from the perspective of France. A “filing abroad” is the opposite of a “non-resident filing”, which describes a patent application by a resident of a foreign country from the perspective of the country receiving the application. International Authority: A national or regional patent office or international organization that fulfills specific tasks, as prescribed by the PCT. International Bureau (IB): In the context of the PCT, the IB of WIPO acts as a receiving office for PCT applications from all contracting states. It also handles certain processing tasks with respect to all PCT applications filed with all receiving offices worldwide. International Filing Date: The date on which the receiving office receives a PCT application (provided certain formality requirements have been met). International Patent Classification (IPC): An internationally recognized patent classification system, the IPC has a hierarchical structure of language-independent symbols and is divided into sections, classes, subclasses and groups. IPC symbols are assigned according to the technical features in patent applications. A patent application that relates to multiple technical features can be assigned several different IPC symbols. International phase of the PCT: The international phase consists of five main stages: 1. the filing of a PCT application by the applicant and its processing by the receiving office; 91
