Question
Hello everybody! I would like to know if there is a provisional patent application under the PCT. Or, if I have a provisional patent application in one country, does that give me any advantages regarding applications in other jurisdictions? Thank you!

No, there is no provisional PCT application, and provisional applications, just like non-provisional applications, are territorial - meaning, they are only valid within the country that it was filed in. Of course, the provisional app can then serve as the basis for a PCT app which then opens the door to other countries.
