Good Memory in TokyoMr. Paulo Cesar Cisternas Godoy (Chile)FY2017 JPO/IPR Training Course on Patent Examination in Specific Technical Fieldsfor Latin American Countries (24 November - 7 December, 2017)To speak of Japan is to speak of a world reference, both culturally, technologically and clearly, in industrialproperty issues.And to speak of Japan, for any Latin American, and especially for a Chilean, is talking about the unknown.My cultural contact with this country was reduced to some study on methodologies of continuous improvement,having seen a couple of movies and Anime series; and some gastronomy (of which I am a fan).For that reason, there were many feelings that I experienced when I knew that I would have that incrediblepossibility of being part of the FY2017 JPO / IPR Training Course on Patent Examination in Specific TechnicalFields for Latin American Countries, which would allow me to learn not only about specific topics associatedwith the analysis of patents, but also to discover something of that incredible ancient culture.And learning takes place long before you get to step on Japanese land. The formality requested from the firstcontacts via email, made me understand that I am close to know a culture that values much respect to others.After a quiet (and very long) trip, Japan received us.The incredible beauty of the place, confronted my desire to only observe with the almost vital need tounderstand the information that described all the necessary aspects to reach my destination. And not onlythat, for the development during those almost 2 weeks of study.Everything was perfectly planned. I had not started the journey through Japanese lands and I alreadyknew the steps I had to follow for my way back. Amazing! Chance is not a variable that has much weightfor the Japanese culture.The course started on a cold Friday in November. Together with an incredible group of professionalsfrom different Latin American countries, we listened carefully to the lessons that Ms. Kay KONISHI showedus about the differences and similarities that Japanese legislation, in industrial protection, presents with therest of the world and with the USA and Europe.The weekend allowed us to visit millenarian temples and somewhat enter the Japanese culture. Emperors,gods, temples, cosmos, traditions, meals in order. Thousands of years of history in front of my eyes.IP Friends Connections August 2018 No.19ENISHI19
