    • Abstract:
      The article discusses advances in patent rights acquisition in international patent law. It emphasizes the centralization of patent filing facilitated by the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and its influence on the shift from first-to-invent to first-to-file patent systems in the U.S. and Canada, and explores the role of procedural developments in international patent law and their effects on the balance of intellectual property rights protection.
