In addition to country specific systems for patents, there are also regional systems, such as the European Patent Organization, African Regional Intellectual Property Organization, Gulf Cooperation Council, and the Patent Cooperation Treaty administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization through which patents can be obtained. Patent law and practice differs between countries and regional systems and inventions for which a patent can be obtained in countries like the US are not always patentable in other jurisdictions like India or Europe. Similarly, inventions that cannot be patented in India are patentable in countries like US or Japan.
