As corporate business activities are becoming increasingly globalized, number of patent filings from overseas to Japan is growing. In response to such demands, JPO has been working to expand Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH), which is a program that provides accelerated patent prosecution procedures based on sharing JPO’s examination results. Recently, a bilateral Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program has commenced between the Indian Patent Office (IPO) and the Japan Patent Office (JPO). Also, Japan has been promoting harmonization with major countries such as the U.S., Nations in the EU, China and South Korea in their respective systems and operations. GPF can assist in efficiently and promptly, using accurate translations, filing of patent applications. GPF along with Khurana and Khurana, Advocates and IP Attorneys (K&K) has tremendous experience in dealing with Patent Filing/ Prosecution as per Japanese Patent Laws, and can assist in hand-holding through the complete prosecution lifecycle of a Patent.
