DESCRIPTION:🌍 FREE LIVE EVENT - Join Us March 19th! 🌍 **INTERNATIONAL PATENTS: WHAT EVERY INVENTOR NEEDS TO KNOW** Here's something most inventors don't realize until it's too late: your invention can be manufactured\, sold\, or knocked off anywhere in the world - and your U.S. patent doesn't protect you outside U.S. borders. That's where WIPO and the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) come in. Thursday\, March 19\, 2026 7:00 PM Eastern / 4:00 PM Pacific **National Inventor Club LIVE** I'm bringing in Matthias Reischle-Park\, Deputy Director and Head of PCT Legal and User Support at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)\, and we're breaking down everything you need to know about protecting your invention globally. Here's what we're covering: ✅ PCT basics - What it is\, how it works\, and why it matters no matter where you are in your invention journey ✅ The real costs - What you actually need to budget for global protection (no surprises) ✅ Strategic timing - When to file PCT vs when to go direct (the 30-month decision that can save or cost you thousands) ✅ Resources available - How to use WIPO tools and get help navigating the system ✅ Enforcement overseas - How you actually protect and enforce your IP if someone's ripping you off in another country ✅ Common mistakes - What Matthias sees inventors doing wrong and how to avoid those pitfalls ✅ Success stories - Real examples of inventors who used PCT to protect and monetize their inventions globally ✅ Future updates - Changes and improvements coming to international filing Matthias has been with WIPO since 1998\, helping inventors and patent professionals navigate the PCT system. He's written the guidelines\, trained thousands of applicants\, and knows every move you need to make to protect your invention internationally without getting burned. Your invention deserves global protection. Let's learn how to do it right. Comment below if you're joining us - inventors at every stage\, this one's for you!
