The PCT System comprises more than 156 Contracting states (May, 2022).<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>granting of patents remains under the national or regional legislation<\/strong> of the national or regional patent offices. It is called the \u201cnational phase\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the national phase, each patent office is responsible for processing the application in accordance with its national patent laws, and for deciding whether to grant patent protection.
