Argentina: Chamber of Representatives Approves PCT
Representatives approved Argentina’s accession to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, subject to a reservation to Chapter II.
On August 26, 2026, the Argentine House of Representatives approved Argentina’s accession to the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), subject to a reservation with respect to Chapter II (“International Preliminary Examination”).
Argentina’s accession to the PCT has not yet been completed. The bill must still be approved by the Senate before the domestic legislative process can be finalized.
We will continue to closely monitor the legislative process and subsequent implementation of the PCT in Argentina and will provide updates on significant developments, including their potential strategic implications for patent filing and prosecution in Argentina.
