Our PCT Translation Guide is a reference resource covering translation requirements for sixty-four Patent Cooperation Treaty member countries.

For each jurisdiction, the guide lists:

• The deadline for national phase entry

• Accepted filing routes and the relevant national or regional office

• Translation and language requirements

• Availability and conditions for extensions

The content is based on official office guidance and verified filing experience. The purpose of the guide is to provide a single, consistent source of information for managing PCT related translation work.

It is designed for patent professionals, IP counsel, and legal operations teams who coordinate filings across multiple jurisdictions. The guide supports planning and compliance by presenting linguistic requirements in a comparable format.

Paralegals use the guide to confirm deadlines and identify which documents must be prepared or translated before submission. When jurisdictions differ in counting days or accepting electronic filings, the guide provides the reference needed to verify local practice without consulting multiple sources.

IP attorneys and portfolio managers use it to review options for regional versus national entry, plan translation workflows, and confirm whether extensions are available when managing large filings. The uniform format allows easy cross-checking between jurisdictions, helping teams align translation schedules with filing calendars.

By consolidating these details, the guide reduces the need to search across separate databases or contact local agents for routine procedural questions. It functions as an operational reference to maintain accuracy and consistency in PCT national phase filings.
