Gallery of Notable PCT Inventions and Inventors

Discover some of the notable inventions that have passed through the PCT system and some of the notable inventors who have used it. The Office of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (OPCT) welcomes suggestions for additions to its gallery of notable PCT inventions and inventors (www.wipo.int/pct/en/inventions). The main criterion used by the OPCT is acknowledgement—most often in the popular media—of the importance or contribution of the invention or inventor.

Suggestions for additions should be sent by e-mail to pct.infoline@wipo.int and should include citations of media references.
