Comments from Speaker

This webinar provides an overview of Japan’s support requirement, with a focus on electrical, electronics, and software-related inventions. Although support requirement issues are more prevalent in the chemical and biotech fields, applicants in the electrical field still need to be prepared for rejections they may not expect. By drawing from the JPO’s examination guidelines and illustrative court decisions, this session will explain the legal framework and offer practical tips for responding to office actions.
