JPO Conducted JPO/IPR Training Course on Trial and Appeal System

The JPO conducted the "JPO/IPR Training Course on Trial and Appeal System" from December 7 to December 13, 2022. A total of 14 trainees from 8 countries completed the course, which was designed for individuals who are and will be involved with appeal and trial systems at IP offices.

The course aimed to deepen understanding of appeal and trial systems, and to develop human resources who can help establish and improve appeal and trial systems. During the course, the trainees learned the outline of the appeal and trial systems in Japan. The participants were divided into two groups to conduct case studies: one for patents, and the other for trademarks. They attended lectures on appeal and trial systems from the perspective of users, and also held active discussions about the systems and the operating procedures of appeals and trials in their respective countries.

Trainees’ comments regarding the course included the following:
" I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the trial and appeal systems in different countries, especially in Japan. " "My country is in the process of revising its laws and regulations on the trial and appeal system, and I intend to share my knowledge gained here at work to improve the trial and appeal system in my country. "
