Patent Family Regional Filings

Patent family with regional filings

This patent family tree follows a UK priority filing through an international PCT application. The PCT branches to a granted European patent with German and French validations, pending US and Korean national phases, and a granted Australian application. Showing regional and country-level rights under their procedural parent makes a coverage discussion easier to follow. It also exposes where status differs among jurisdictions. A tree is an overview, not a legal register: renewal status, opposition, validation requirements and claim scope need separate verification. Use it to organize a portfolio discussion before consulting authoritative records. Keep each country label tied to the underlying application or validation, rather than implying a single worldwide patent right.

常見問題

What is an EP validation?

It is the step that gives effect to a granted European patent in a designated state, subject to local rules.

Can one PCT application enter many countries?

Yes. The applicant can pursue national or regional phases in selected jurisdictions.

Does a grant in one country mean a grant everywhere?

No. Each national or regional branch has its own prosecution and legal status.
