“The PCT … gives us the

opportunity to protect our patents

globally … before determining which

countries might be most valuable.”

- Shuji Nakamura

Steve Katsaros: A PCT Testimonial

Page 21: Steve Katsaros - wipo.int · 1. Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (DE) 2. China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CN) 3. Commissariat a L’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives

“Every start-up has limited funds

and the PCT is a great mechanism

for delaying patent filing costs,

allowing time to test the market and

overcome any unforeseen technical

problems.

“Without the PCT, protecting an

invention in international markets

would be a high-risk strategy with

huge upfront costs.”

- Steve Katsaros
