China PAT Reaches 18,000 PCT International Patent Applications

As of June 2026, China PAT has handled more than 18,000 PCT international patent applications.

For clients seeking patent protection across multiple jurisdictions, the PCT route is often where a global filing strategy begins to take shape. A well-managed PCT application can help preserve options, align technical disclosure with later national phase requirements, and give companies more room to make informed decisions as their commercial priorities develop. 

For China PAT, reaching 18,000 PCT applications is something we are proud of. The figure reflects years of work with clients whose technologies, priorities and markets vary widely, and whose international filings require careful attention at each stage of the process.

Over the years, China PAT has supported clients in PCT filing, application drafting and translation, international phase procedure, national phase coordination, and communication with overseas counsel. Much of this work is detailed and time-sensitive, requiring close cooperation between attorneys, process management teams, clients and foreign associates.

We are grateful to our clients for continuing to trust us with technologies that matter to their businesses, and to our colleagues for the careful attention given to each case that made this progress possible.

As we move forward, China PAT will continue that work with the same care, judgment and steady focus that have brought us to this point.
