JPO Conducted JPO/IPR Training Course on Patent Examination Management for Managers

The JPO conducted the "JPO/IPR Training Course on Patent Examination Management for Managers" in person from July 18 to 24, 2023. A total of 17 trainees from 8 countries and 2 organizations completed the course. This course was mainly intended for managers involved in patent examination management at IP offices in various countries.

The purpose of this course is to enhance the expertise required for practicing patent examination management. During this course, the JPO shared its experiences and the attendees shared their own experiences with the JPO. Then they had discussions with each other. In addition, lectures were given to deepen the attendees' understanding of overall patent-examination operations, such as how to manage the quality of patent examination and general business-management practices, as well as how to develop human resources, specifically patent examiners.

Trainee comments regarding the course included the following:

"The training was very beneficial in deepening my understanding of patent examination practices in Japan, especially on how to manage and maintain quality to meet the highest quality standards while also speeding up examinations."

"Upon returning to my country, I will compile my findings on the differences in the management of patent examination practices between my country and Japan into a report, and share all of the valuable and useful materials with my colleagues."
