The decision has been revoked (Defendant = Chiba University's rights are invalid).
 
This is the 333rd case in which the Intellectual Property High Court has ruled that the rights invalid.
 
Chiba University, the patent holder, had an invalidation trial (Invalidation 2017-800014) filed against it by Nipro Corporation, which is believed to be an interested party, but the Japan Patent Office's Trial and Appeal Division found that the request for trial was invalid and maintained the patent.
 
Nipro Corporation appealed to the Intellectual Property High Court, which ruled that the decision made by the Japan Patent Office on March 29, 2018, in Invalidation Case No. 2017-800014 is revoked, and Nipro Corporation's appeal was accepted.
 
In the decision, the court stated that "the present corrected invention 1 is recognized as something that a person skilled in the art could easily have invented based on Exhibit 3, and therefore the judgment of the present trial decision that differs from this is erroneous." "Exhibit 3" is (WO-A- 2006/041409).
 
Regarding this "Patent Document 3" (WO-A-2006/041409), "Uehara Katsunori (4P 4042), the Patent Office Examiner (authorized officer) of the Japan Patent Office, which is the international searching authority" in the document "International Search Report" did not find it.
 
And the examiner who examined this patent application (Mikami Akiko) did not find it either, regardless of whether she created the [search formula].
 
Now, let's take a look at the publication of this "Patent Document 3" (WO-A-2006/041409). Three "IPCs" have been assigned, so I have written them out to the right of this publication.
 
Two of them are common to the target patent in this case (Relisted 2009/044919).
 
I can't help but wonder why the Patent Office examiner was unable to find this "Patent Document 3" (WO-A-2006/041409).
 
This again proves that the search capabilities of the JPO's examiners are weak. It is not acceptable to grant a patent based on a sloppy investigation by an examiner at the JPO's examination stage.
 
Therefore, I believe that the JPO should not have granted a patent to Chiba University's application.
 
Here, I have listed the "FI" and "F-term" from the "application information" of this patent (relisted 2009/044919) on the second sheet of this Excel document.
 
In addition, I have attached documents such as "Selection of search terms/classifications (FI, F-term) and creation of search logical formulas", "Specific examples", "Searches using insufficient and irrelevant "logical search formulas" conducted by searchers at a registered search organization", and "Patent documents that searchers at a registered search organization (AIRI Co., Ltd.) could not find".
