The plaintiff's claim was dismissed (the plaintiff's rights were invalidated). This is the 324th case in which the Intellectual Property High Court has found the rights of the plaintiff to be "invalid."

The patent holder, Ushio Electric Co., Ltd., lost an invalidation trial (Invalidation 2015-800021) filed by V-Technology Co., Ltd., which is believed to be an interested party, and the Japan Patent Office ruled that "the patent for the invention related to claims 1 to 5 of Patent No. 5344105 is invalid."
The JPO examiner cited as evidence the "Reference 3 Invention" (Patent No. 5105567), "A2 Invention" (JP Patent Publication No. 2009-295950), and "A5 Invention" (JP Patent Publication No. 2007-114647) presented by V-Technology Co., Ltd.
Of these, during the JPO examination stage, the examiner (Suzuki Toshimitsu) found "A5 Invention" (JP Patent Publication No. 2007-114647), but only as a reference patent document and did not present it to the applicant as a prior art document.
And he was unable to find the first two documents mentioned above, "Reference 3 Invention" (Patent No. 5105567) and "A2 Invention" (JP Patent Publication No. 2009-295950).
Here again, the JPO examiners' weak research capabilities are proven.
The patent holder, Ushio Electric Inc., appealed the JPO examiner's decision to invalidate the patent and filed a lawsuit with the Intellectual Property High Court, but the lawsuit was dismissed.
The Intellectual Property High Court's decision largely followed the JPO's ruling, dismissing the plaintiff's claim.
It is not permissible to grant a patent based on a sloppy search by an examiner at the JPO's examination stage.
Therefore, we believe that the JPO should not have granted a patent to Ushio Electric Inc.'s application in the first place.
I have listed the "FI" and "F-term" from the "Application Information" of the patent publication (JP Patent Publication 2014-174352) from the second sheet onwards in this Excel document.
