Saudi Arabia – Patents - accession to PCT and PLT


A WIPO email alert dated 16 May 2013 announces the accession of Saudi Arabia to the Patent Law Treaty (PLT) - Accession by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (PLT Notification No. 36) and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) - Accession by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (PCT Notification No. 203).


More news on this significant change in local practice is expected from a number of sources soon. This part of the Empty Quarter cannot help but wonder when the remaining GCC states and the the GCC Patent Office itself will follow.
