Comments from Speaker
Patent eligibility remains one of challenging issues for business-related inventions in Japan, particularly for foreign applicants unfamiliar with Japanese practice. The JPO Appeal Board conducts an annual review of trial decisions and court judgments and publishes its findings.
This webinar focuses squarely on how to draft patent-eligible business-related inventions in Japan.
Through an analysis of recent court judgments, we will highlight how patent eligibility is assessed in practice, and what drafting approaches have proven effective. The session will conclude with concrete, practice-oriented guidance on drafting specifications and claims, offering foreign applicants actionable strategies to improve patent eligibility in Japan.
