特許庁審判部では、平成18年度(2006年度)から、産業界、弁理士、弁護士及び審判官という各々立場の異なる審判実務関係者が一堂に会して審決や判決についての研究を行う「審判実務者研究会」(当初は「進歩性検討会」)を開催し、その成果を取りまとめた報告書を作成し、公表しています。

These reports typically include the following for each case studied Case summary Case history Content of the invention at issue (a) Scope of patent claims (only claims examined in the case study are listed) (b) Drawings (extracts of relevant drawings) (c) Detailed description of the invention (excerpts of relevant parts) Content of the main inventions cited (only for cases where inventive step was examined) Content of the decision (a) Points of difference (only for cases where inventive step was examined) (b) Assessment of the points of difference (only for cases where inventive step was examined) Content of the decision (a) arguments of the applicant (b) Respondent's counter-arguments (c) Decision of the court Issues considered and results I had the valuable experience of attending the Patentability Review Meeting in 2010, the Trial and Appeal Practitioners Study Group in 2011 and again in 2012. As these were before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were about three study group meetings each year, followed by social gatherings which provided an opportunity for various exchanges.
