特許調査を前提とした特許出願のすべて【リライト版】
✓すぐに審査をパスして特許されるということはあまりありません。
✓出願前に知られている発明との違いがあまりない、と理由です。
✓まず特許公報が引用されます
✓その特許公報に記載されている発明（以下「引用発明」といいます。）
であることがほとんどです。
主張が通れば、特許になります。
自分の発明＝特許を請求する発明
ただ変えられるのは、出願時に出願書類に記載した事項の範囲内です。
そのために、最も重要な情報・欲しい情報はなんでしょうか？
とてもいいと思いませんか？
引用発明に対する反論を、出願書類に記載しておくことができます。
審査官から示される引用発明に近いものを事前に知ることができます。
引用発明に対するあなたの発明の優位性を、出願書類に盛り込めます。
そういう結論になることもあります。
まず、特許調査によって見つかった発明を検討してみてください。
そして、その発明に打ち勝てるだけの工夫をしてみてください。
✓特許の費用をドブに捨てることになっていたかも知れません。
→念入りな特許調査を行うことで、傷を浅く抑えることができます。
✓大手企業の場合、いわゆる知的財産権部や法務部などで行う
✓特許調査会社にアウトソーシングすることもあります
また、特許調査会社に調査を依頼する余裕はないでしょう。
最終的に特許出願を行う場合は、
✓特許調査手数料の半額を、特許出願手数料に充当します。
→結果として、特許調査手数料は、実質半額になります。
出願書類も充実します。
✓長年の特許出願実務後に、特許審査官となり、審査実務を学びました
特許出願の実務に加え、特許審査官の考え方をマスターしています。
この点は、特許の業界において、最も難しい判断の一つです。
この点についても、審査官的な見地から、アドバイスが可能です。
また、案件が集中すると、処理に時間が掛かることがございます。
興味のある方は、お早目にお問合せください。

All about patent applications with patent searches in mind [Rewritten version]
When you apply for a patent and it is examined by an examiner,
✓it is unlikely that it will pass the examination and be patented right away.
In most cases, you will receive a notice stating the reasons for rejecting the patent.
The most common reason for rejection is
✓there is not much difference between the invention known before the application.
In most cases, an "invention known before the application" is
✓the patent gazette is cited first
✓the invention described in that patent gazette (hereafter referred to as the "cited invention").
Make sure to clearly state the difference between your invention and the "cited invention".
If your claim is accepted, you will be granted a patent.
You can also make some changes to your invention to assert the difference.
Your invention = the invention claimed for patent
However, you can only make changes within the scope of the items described in the application documents at the time of application.
●
You have now created a wonderful invention and are preparing to apply for a patent.
What is the most important information/information you want for this purpose?
What if you could know in advance the "cited inventions" that the examiner will present?
Wouldn't that be great?
You could write your rebuttals to the cited inventions in your application documents.
So what I propose is "filing a patent application with a patent search as a premise."
You conduct the same level of patent search as the examiner.
You can find out in advance what is similar to the cited inventions presented by the examiner.
You can include in your application documents the advantages of your invention over the cited inventions.
On the other hand, the results of a patent search may lead to the conclusion that your invention will be difficult to patent...
In such a case, there is no need to force a patent application.
First, consider the inventions found through patent search.
Then, try to come up with ways to beat those inventions.
If you had forced a patent application,
✓ you might have wasted your patent costs.
→ By conducting a thorough patent search, you can minimize the damage.
In fact, the above ideas are not entirely new.
Some companies file patent applications with patent searches as a premise.
✓For large companies, this is done by the so-called intellectual property rights department or legal department
✓It may also be outsourced to a patent research company
■Our "patent application based on patent research" has the following features
①We provide services exclusively to individual inventors and small business owners.
Individuals probably do not have a specialized patent department.
Also, they probably cannot afford to ask a patent research company to do the research.
Our patent research service has a reasonable fee structure.
If you ultimately file a patent application,
✓Half of the patent research fee will be applied to the patent application fee.
→As a result, the patent research fee will effectively be half the price.
It is far more cost-effective than filing a patent application without conducting a patent search.
Furthermore, by conducting a patent search, the patent attorney will have a deeper understanding of the invention.
The application documents will also be more comprehensive.
②It will be conducted by a patent attorney with experience as an examiner.
Our patent attorneys
✓After many years of patent application practice, they became patent examiners and learned examination practice.
In addition to patent application practice, they have mastered the way patent examiners think.
How different does a patent need to be from a prior patent to be patentable?
This is one of the most difficult decisions in the patent industry.
We can also give advice on this point from an examiner's perspective.
