| | |
| | ## National/Regional Phase Entry (30-31 months) |
| | • Choose target jurisdictions |
| | • File translations as required |
| | • Pay national/regional fees |
| | • Appoint local patent attorneys |
| | • Submit any amendments/arguments |
| | • Begin separate prosecution in each jurisdiction |
| | |
| | ## Key Considerations |
| | • Monitor all deadlines carefully |
| | • Budget for substantial translation costs |
| | • Consider filing strategy based on commercial objectives |
