Contents of the webinar
In Japan, design applications are examined for substantial reasons (e.g. novelty). Thus, it is not possible to quickly obtain design registrations and the average examination period is about 6 months. If you or your clients wish to obtain design registrations as soon as possible, we recommend applying for an accelerated examination.
In presentation, Mr. Tomohiro Gyoda, a patent attorney well experienced in design matters, will present statistics about accelerated examination and will explain the requirements for the accelerated examination of design patent applications.
If you have any questions following the presentation, or at any time in the future regarding you or a client’s design patent application, please contact us at tm-design@shigapatent.com. We would be happy to support you through the process.
