特許を出すことで他者の特許の侵害を防げますか？【リライト版】
他者の特許を侵害することは避けたいです。
新規事業について特許を出せば、他者特許の侵害を防げますか？
→結果的に、他者特許の侵害を防ぐ可能性を高めることができます。
他者特許を侵害すると、刑事罰や民事賠償のリスクがあります。
新規事業どころではなくなるおそれがあります。
→特許の取得を目指すといいでしょう。
ただ、この表現は必ずしも正確ではありません。
ここからが本題です。
特許が取れるかどうかを判断するための「特許調査」です（★２）。
つまり、
（★１）：侵害予防調査（どこに地雷が埋まっているか？）
（★２）：先行技術調査（あなたの発明で特許が取れるか？）
✔（★２）の調査で、実質的に（★１）の調査も行ったことになります
この点については他の記事で述べていますが、ひとことで言えば、
✔（★２）のほうが（★１）よりも調査範囲が広いのです
他者特許の内容を知ることができます。
結果的に、他者特許の侵害を防ぐ可能性を高めることができます。

Can issuing a patent prevent infringement of someone else's patent? [Rewritten version]
(Q) I am launching a new business.
You want to avoid infringing on someone else's patents.
If you issue a patent for your new business, can you prevent infringement of other companies' patents?
(A) If you issue a patent, the possibility of preventing infringement of other parties' patents increases.
However, to be more precise, the following two points are important.
✔(1) Issuing a patent itself does not prevent infringement of others' patents
✔(2) Perform a “certain act” when issuing a patent
→As a result, the possibility of preventing infringement of other parties' patents can be increased.
<Explanation>
When starting a new business, it is necessary to prevent infringement of others' patents.
If you infringe on someone else's patent, you risk criminal penalties and civil compensation.
There is a risk that it will not be a new business.
Since this is a new business, it may be possible to issue a patent.
Has an original invention (product, service, business model, etc.)
→It would be a good idea to aim for obtaining a patent.
If you issue a patent, you have a greater chance of preventing infringement of others' patents.
However, this expression is not always accurate.
We will explain this in more detail below.
■(1) Issuing a patent itself does not prevent infringement of others' patents.
A patent is the right to monopolize an invention.
A third-party patent means that someone else has a monopoly on an invention.
When you issue a patent, you aim for a monopoly on your invention.
Even if you issue a patent, there is no direct relationship with other people's patents.
To make it easier to imagine, let's compare patents to "landmines."
Infringing someone else's patent means stepping on that land mine.
What can you do to avoid stepping on this landmine?
Would you like to get your own mine too? (=Will you issue a patent?)
That doesn't mean you're avoiding other people's mines.
The important thing is to know where other people's landmines are buried.
For this purpose, you can investigate the contents of other people's patents (★1).
This will save you from stepping on someone else's landmines.
In other words, you can prevent infringement of others' patents.
■(2) Patent searches can increase the possibility of preventing infringement of others' patents.
Here is the main issue.
In this article, I will try to explain it as briefly as possible.
The "certain act" performed when issuing a patent at the beginning is a patent search!
This is a "patent search" to determine whether a patent can be obtained (★2).
By conducting a patent search, you can develop a patent strategy that is free from unreasonableness, waste, and unevenness.
In other words,
✔Easier to determine whether your invention can be patented
✔You can use the research results to improve your invention to make it easier to obtain a patent.
✔In the worst case scenario, you can reduce unnecessary costs by giving up on patents.
The investigation in (★2) is different from the investigation (★1) in (1) above.
(★1): Infringement prevention investigation (where are landmines buried?)
(★2): Prior art search (Can your invention be patented?)
But in many cases,
✔By conducting the investigation in (★2), you have essentially also conducted the investigation in (★1).
I have talked about this point in other articles, but in short,
✔(★2) has a wider investigation scope than (★1)
In this way, it is important to conduct a patent search when issuing a patent.
You can know the contents of other people's patents.
As a result, you can increase your chances of preventing infringement of others' patents.
