September 2017 Internal Seminar (Points to be considered upon handling new cases)


Mr. Yoshiyuki MACHIDA, Senior Partner of our firm, held an internal seminar regarding important points to be considered when we receive new case from clients. Specifically, he talked about patent application claiming priority based on Japanese patent application, PCT application, divisional application and patent application utilizing a rule of exceptions to lack of novelty. We could reconfirm basic requirements (due dates in law, items to be described on a request form) and understood practical important points for the above mentioned patent applications.
