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, find Planner 2027 in the left-hand navigation and click it. Then click Next Gen Planner.
- The Next Gen Planner loads and takes you to the IP Forecaster page. In the top-left icon rail, click the Forecasting icon.
- Click Patents, then select PCT Applications + Direct National. This will take you directly to the Patent Forecast Request 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.
