At a glance iPNOTE is a platform designed for professionals. But at the same time they have so helpful customer support that got me through all stages literally by hand. Being client oriented is a relic feature for modern digital services that trying to automate almost each step.

User-friendly app with great functionality and design! All necessary information about IP in one place. In addition to information about patents, there is the ability to set reminders and tasks, track progress, and communicate directly with service providers. And yes, the marketplace is an excellent opportunity to save a significant part of IP budget!

I liked working with the Ipnote. Clear, convenient process of finding contractors + there is constant support from the service itself on many issues. We were able to file trademark applications in the USA quickly. Now we will continue in other countries, using the help of the service.

We ordered work in more than 10 countries for trademarks and patents, it is very convenient that everything is visible in one dashboard and fast secure payments. Lawyers often offer advice and best solutions for free, which helps a lot when you are not sure what needs to be done and how to do it cheaper. Excellent service I recommend as a patent attorney with 15 years of experience!

An international application (PCT) is a type of patent application that allows you to seek patent protection in multiple countries by filing a single application.

An international application (PCT) lasts for 30 months from the priority date.

You need to include a written description of your invention, any drawings or diagrams, claims that define the scope of your invention, and an abstract.

Yes, you can file an international application (PCT) without a patent attorney, but it's recommended to work with one to ensure that your application is complete and accurate.

The cost of filing an international application (PCT) varies depending on the complexity of the invention and whether you work with a patent attorney or agent.

After you file your international application (PCT), it will be published and undergo an international search and preliminary examination.

No, you must choose which countries you want to enter the national phase in and file separate applications in each of those countries.

Filing an international application (PCT) can provide you with an early filing date and give you time to further develop your invention before deciding which countries to seek patent protection in.
