No. There is no such thing.
The closest things to this are the so-called international patent
application (An application via the Patent Co-operation Treaty or
PCT), and several regional patent systems. These are the
European Patent via the European Patent Office, the Eurasian
Patent, two African nation patent systems: OAPI (for French
speaking states), and ARIPO (For English speaking states), and
the GCC system of oil-rich middle-eastern nations.
Details of which nations belong to which organisations can be
found in the PatentlyProtected.com Territory Planner Tool.
Aside from these systems you need to apply to each country
separately.
It is probably the PCT system which deserves the most mention. By
international agreement (of more than 220 countries), you may file
for a PCT application which will be searched (and optionally
examined) by a suitable patent office. At the end of 30 months from
the filing of your PCT application - or an earlier "priority" national
application, you must enter the"national phase" - which simply
means that you then write to the patent offices of each country of
interest and request that they accept the PCT
application effectively as a rather late national application.
One of the great advantages of the PCT system is that it allows
applicants more time to decide whether they wish to spend large
sums of money on those national patent offices and the patent
agents which are necessary too.
Finally one important point that is often overlooked by prospective
applicants is that you certainly do not need protection in every
country. That extravagance is reserved for only the most incredibly
valuable inventions. By obtaining protection in your most important
markets your competitors will be discouraged because competing
with you in only the less desirable markets will not be worth their
effort.
For a consumer product, applicants typically will seek protection in
the USA, several to all EU/EPO territories, perhaps Japan, and if
there is money left in the budget, Australia, Canada, New Zealand,
Russia, China, India, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa could be
considered. Industrial products and devices, oil related inventions,
and those only of interest in certain cultures will of course require
more specialised patenting strategies.
