飲食店のカウンター席を仕切りで区切ると、一蘭の特許に抵触するか?【リライト版】
店員さんと顔を合わせず注文がしやすいです。
一蘭の特許に抵触することにはなりません。
(特許で言えばライセンス料など)
事業者の役割としては、
✔非常時などさまざまな場面を想定して、アイデアを出しておく
事業者として見習えることも多いと思います。

Does separating counter seats at restaurants with partitions violate Ichiran's patent? [Rewritten version]
Do you know the ramen shop "Ichiran"?
This ramen shop is popular for its unique counter seating.
The counter seats are divided into private rooms.
You can eat ramen without worrying about your neighbor.
It's easy to order without having to meet the staff face-to-face.
Ichiran's store design has been patented.
Patent No. 4267981 “Store System”
By the way, things were tough during the outbreak of infectious diseases.
It was common practice in restaurants to separate seats with partitions.
Will separating counter seats with partitions violate Ichiran's patent?
■Will separating counter seats at restaurants with partitions violate Ichiran's patents?
As conclusion,
As long as you don't imitate Ichiran, it's fine.
This does not infringe on Ichiran's patents.
At least as long as you separate them with partitions, you'll be fine.
I looked into Ichiran's patents.
In addition to the partition, the components of this patent include:
Noren, sensors, switches, lamps, speakers
And so on.
If you do not install all of these in your store, they will not violate Ichiran's patent.
We will omit further explanation in this article.
If you are interested in Ichiran's patents, please check the above patent numbers.
■In an emergency, should we release patents and other rights without claiming them?
I wrote this article because I saw this topic on the internet news.
✔ Separating counter seats may violate Ichiran's patents.
✔Ichiran should not claim patents in this emergency situation
Because I saw things like that.
As explained above, regarding Ichiran's patents,
✔As long as you don't imitate Ichiran very closely, it will not violate patents.
However, if Ichiran's patent had a broader scope...
What if the content is in violation of a patent just by separating it with a partition?
And what if other restaurants thought this way?
✔Normally, we don't build such stores, so we ignore patents.
✔In times of emergency, right holders should not assert their patents and open them up to everyone!
If there is a restaurant that thinks this way, I cannot agree with it.
■Business owners should always come up with ideas.
✔In times of emergency, right holders should not assert their patents and open them up to everyone!
The reason why I disagree with this claim is that
✔Those who regularly come up with ideas should be fairly evaluated.
✔If you don't come up with ideas on a regular basis, you should pay the price in an emergency.
(In terms of patents, license fees, etc.)
Personally, I think so.
The role of the business operator is to
✔ Generate ideas for various situations such as emergencies
✔ Generate ideas = find issues and improve them
I learned anew about Ichiran's (Ichiran Co., Ltd.) patents.
I think there are many things we can learn from as entrepreneurs.
We hope for your reference.
