The Patent Office (DINAPI) has announced that Uruguay will deposit its adhesion to the PCT before the WIPO on October 7, being this the only remaining step towards their formal entry into the Treaty.
Three months after its deposit, applicants will be able to officially designate Uruguay (UY) during PCT proceedings. That is, as of January 2025 the PCT will start operating in Uruguay, making it the 158th State to integrate the Treaty.
