Creating a Specification Described the contents of an invention

An application procedure which submitting a document (a specification) described the invention to JPO is required to acquire a patent or a utility model. We make interview to the inventor, understand the invention correctly, and make the application documents. If it is difficult to have interview meeting, we are able to create the application documents by obtaining the description, the drawings, and the like from you.

Responding to office actions (Responding to a Notice of Reasons for Refusal)

To take the examination for a patent application, it is required to file an application for the examination within three years from the filling date of the patent application. At that time, as a result of the examination of an examiner of JPO, if it is judged as that the requirements of the filling is not satisfied, reasons for the refusal are noticed (this notice may be sent plural times). If the notice of reasons for refusal are received, it is needed to react for argument to the judgment of the examiner (response to an office action) such as making amendments of the contents of the invention (ex. Claims). According to the client’s intention, we have meetings as needed, and give you a proposal for amendments and arguments to acquire the most appropriate patent right.
If you would like to make a patent right which includes products of other competitive companies, we support it. Please feel free to ask us.
In other hands, excluding the case of violating basic requirements, the establishment of the utility model rights are registered (non-examination registration system which not examines substantive examinations). However, for the exercise against to the infringers and the like, it is obligated to show the “Technological Evaluation Document for a Utility Model.” We make such Technological evaluation document for a utility model and submit it.

Appealing (Trial)

If an examiner judges that the reasons for refusal were not dissolved even though considering written opinions and the like submitted in the above described response to an office action, a refusal will be decided. Against to the decision of refusal, you can request a trial against examiner’s decision of refusal. We examine whether or not the examiner’s decision is right, and if we decide that we can acquire the right by reactions such as embodiments and the like, we make the documents for the trial to request the trial against examiner’s decision of refusal.
