Comments from Speaker

The Japanese patent system offers broad opportunities to file divisional applications while maintaining pending prosecution. This flexibility can be utilized strategically to develop patent portfolios that respond to evolving technologies and competing products. In this session, we examine how divisional filings contribute to constructing a patent network capable of supporting enforcement in Japan. Using actual litigation cases, this presentation discusses practical approaches to claim development, prosecution timing, and portfolio structuring. Attendees will gain insight into how divisional strategies can strengthen patent coverage and enhance litigation readiness in the Japanese market.
