Comments from Speaker

This webinar gives a structured overview of substantive requirements governing patent amendments in Japanese patent practice, grounded under the JPO examination guidelines. It provides a comprehensive explanation of the examination guidelines, alongside representative examples of allowable and unallowable amendments. Through the analysis of case studies, participants will gain practical insight into how these requirements are applied in examination, enabling more effective amendment strategies and improved prosecution outcomes for Japanese patent applications.
