He is assured that, if his international application is in the form prescribed by the PCT, it cannot be rejected on formal grounds by any designated Office during the national phase of the processing of the application;
On the basis of the international search report or the written opinion, he can evaluate with reasonable probability the chances of his invention being patented; And the applicant has the possibility during the international preliminary examination to amend the international application to put it in order before processing by the designated Offices;
** the search and examination work of patent offices can be considerably reduced or virtually eliminated thanks to the international search report, the written opinion and, where applicable, the international preliminary examination report that accompany the international application;
