Patent System in Japan

The JPO held the 9th Japan-ASEAN Patent Office Directors' Meeting and the ASEAN Patent Office Symposium 2019 in Tokyo on August 6-7, 2019.

 

The JPO held its first Japan-Africa Patent Office policy dialogue in time for TICAD7 held in Yokohama from August 27 (Tuesday) to 30 (Friday), 2019.

 

With the remarkable development of AI-related technology in recent years, the JPO has investigated the status of AI-related patent applications in Japan and overseas, assuming that patent applications have increased across technical fields and this trend will continue.

 

In June 2019, the Fair Trade Commission published “Points of a Survey Report on Abuse Acts of Superior Position Targeting Manufacturer's Know-how and Intellectual Property Rights”.

 

The JPO has published case studies on intellectual property strategies of more than 50 companies in Japan and overseas.
As management and intellectual property managers examine management strategies and intellectual property strategies, the aim is to use them as reference examples for dealing with their management issues, systems, and environment.
