Comments from Speaker

The Japan Patent Office (JPO) offers a range of procedural options, such as the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) and divisional applications, to support applicants at different stages of patent examination. Understanding when and how to utilize these options can make a meaningful difference in managing Japanese patent applications. This webinar will introduce selected mechanisms available under the Japanese patent system, focusing on their practical applications and potential benefits. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to incorporate these options into their patent prosecution strategies to navigate the examination process in Japan more efficiently.
