On March 2, 2009, Chile deposited its instrument of accession to the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), becoming the 140th PCT Contracting State. The PCT will enter into force in Chile on June 2, 2009. Further information will be available in the March edition of the PCT Newsletter, when available.
Elsewhere, the government of Peru has approved the ratification of the PCT; the Supreme Decree setting forth ratification was published on January 11, 2009. At that time, the government was to shortly pass regulations implementing the date of entry into the treaty.
