IP Forecaster makes it simple to create PCT application forecasts and add direct national filings in a single forecast. These forecasts can be Saved, Emailed, and/or Exported for later use or distribution to team members or clients to review.
- From your Homepage, at the top under Create a New Forecast, click the button labeled Patent. Then select PCT Applications + Direct National. This will take you directly to the PCT Forecast screen.
- Under the PCT Application details, select the countries that will act as the Receiving Office and as the International Search Authority (ISA).
- Enter the number of pages needed.
- Then, under the Direct National Application details, add the countries you want to be included in the filing.
- For this example, let us add Japan and Australia as the Direct national Countries. Then we will select the “United States” as both the Receiving Office and the Search Authority.
- Let’s also apply 5 Total claims and 3 independent claims.
- Under Fee Filters, select the Phases and Fee Sources you want to include in the Forecast. Just click the toggle on/off button to turn off fees that may not be relevant to your forecast or that you don’t want to include.
- Then click Create Forecast to generate your forecast.
- Forecast Results: You will have 3 different views of the results: Hybrid, Summary, and Detailed Timeline.
- Saving and Sharing (bottom left) allows you to Save, Edit, Export, Create New, or Send by Email your forecast results.
