| Prior to filing a patent in any foreign country,
prior to filing a patent application in the US , a few points are noteworthy. |
| The inventor should have filed the application in the country of his/her nationality OR should have permission for filing in US from the government of the country of his/her nationality. | | | | To claim the priority of an application filed in the country of his/her nationality, the inventor has to file the application in a foreign country within 12 months from date of first filing of the application. | | | | Filing of the application in a foreign country has to be done through a person authorized to represent the inventor before the patent office. | | | | A citizen of any country can file a patent application with the US PTO, any non-US resident inventor may file his/her patent through a USPTO registered patent attorney. IP Procure routinely files patent applications of foreign inventors with the USPTO. | | | For further clarifications and assistance on patent filing in US by a foreign national, contact our US patent attorney, Ash Tankha on this toll free number 1-866-387-5386.
