Questions about national phase filing.
Short answers to what law firms and corporations ask us most.

Book a consultation01What is national phase entry?
It is the step where a PCT international application is taken into individual countries or regional offices. Each entry becomes a separate national application, examined under that office's law.
02What is the national phase deadline?
30 months from the earliest priority date in most countries, and 31 months in others, including the EPO, India, South Korea, Australia and the United Kingdom. A few offices allow late entry with fees, such as China (32 months) and Canada (42 months).
03What do you need to send a proposal?
The PCT application number and your target countries are enough. We use the published application to check pages, claims, language and priority data, so the official fees in the proposal are exact.
04What does the proposal include?
Filing stage fees for each country: official fees, request for examination where due at entry, professional fees, filing language, translation charges, annuities if due and preliminary amendment charges if required. We also estimate post-filing costs: examination requests, office action responses, interviews or hearings, grant fees and annuities.
05Are there any hidden costs?
No. Every cost is itemised before you instruct, official and professional fees are shown separately, and anything outside the proposal is quoted and approved by you before it is incurred.
06How accurate is the official fee calculator?
It applies each office's current fee rules to your pages, claims and priority claims, so the official fees are specific to your application. We review the fee schedule regularly as offices change their fees, and the final figures are confirmed in your proposal.
07Can you enter many countries at the same time?
Yes. Multi-country entries are the core of our practice. All countries run in parallel through one point of contact, with a consolidated report of application numbers and receipts.
08What if the national phase deadline has passed?
Contact us immediately. Several offices allow late entry or reinstatement of rights within set periods, usually with additional fees and a statement of the reasons for the delay.
One proposal for every country, with every fee upfront.
