How to Create a Patent Family in Nanotechnology?

Creating a patent family involves several steps:
Initial Filing: Start with a priority application, often filed in your home country. This application will serve as the basis for subsequent filings.
International Applications: Within 12 months, file international applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) to extend protection to multiple countries.
National Phase Entry: After the PCT application, enter the national phase in the countries where you seek protection, typically within 30 months from the priority date.
