論文名 Suggestions Regarding a New Divisional Application System ―― Focusing on the protection of front runners and international harmonization of patent systems ――
著者 特許第1委員会
抄録 In the process of making Japan a nation built on intellectual property, with the objective of
achieving expeditious and accurate patent examination at the level of the highest global standards and
promoting flexible patent examination according to applicant needs, the Patent Strategy Working
Group established under the Patent System Subcommittee of the Intellectual Property Policy
Committee of the Industrial Structure Council held intensive discussions and prepared a report
regarding the divisional application system and the amendment system, which is closely related
thereto. In this text, the subcommittee, while taking into consideration the conclusion reported by the
working group, reviews the current status and methods of using the existing divisional application
system as well as comparison between the Japanese system and foreign systems, extracts problems
with the existing divisional application system from the perspective of protecting front-runners and
promoting international harmonization, and makes various recommendations on this issue.
