Continue the PCT application process in Finland

In Finland, you can also apply for a utility model for your invention through the international patent system (PCT). Read more about the PCT system in the Patents section.

The Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) is also an international searching authority, which means that you can draw up a PCT application in Finland and ask us to examine it. The PCT system does not grant an international patent. Consequently, after the international phase, you will have to complete the application in the regional or national phase at different patent offices. This means you can continue your PCT application in Finland as a national utility model or patent application. Read more about entering the national phase in the Patents section.

We process the utility model applications filed through the PCT system in the same way as all other utility model applications.
