Wisdom International Patent & Law Office’s new Japanese book “Taiwan Patent Practice Guide”, co-authored by George J. H. Huang (Director of Wisdom/ Attorney at Law / Patent Attorney) and Kai Furihata (Japan Patent Attorney / Head of Patent Department), provides concise and practical guidance on Taiwan patents (including invention patents, utility models and designs).
“Taiwan Patent Practice Guide” covers the Taiwan patent system and analysis of recent patent cases, trends and decisions from a practical aspect, as well as reflects the latest changes in the Taiwan Patent Act (became effective on November 2019). Patent prosecution, responses to Office Actions, administrative remedies, invalidation proceedings, post-grant amendments, infringement litigation and licensing are all discussed in depth.
Before the book was published, there was not any Japanese-language guidebook about Taiwan patents. In view of the incomplete and inaccurate information scattered on the internet, this book reviews each part of the Taiwan patent system in detail with key examples and compares the differences and similarities between the patent systems of Taiwan and Japan. It is indeed an efficient and comprehensive guide to Taiwan patent laws and portfolio management for intellectual property practitioners, academics and in-house experts.
