Patent and Intellectual Property


Overview

Recently, news was broadcast that foreigners who were making and selling copies of

the famous European brand "Hugkin" were arrested. It may be the instinct that many people want

to imitate successful products and successful people, but the law that protects intellectual

property rights such as patents, copyrights and trademark rights does not allow unlimited Is.

It protects the creator of intellectual property and encourages creation in various fields of society.


This idea is a very important idea in the modern nation. Without such a law, creators would be harmed

and social progress would be stagnated as a result.

Since each country has a legal system created based on this way of thinking,

it is dangerous to ignore it and start up a business.

In some cases, after starting a business with a new idea in mind, imitation by others

and patents are taken first, and even if you are the founder, you may be asked for compensation,

or you may be prohibited from selling.


In addition, even if you have a patent in Japan, if you do not take it overseas,

you may be overwhelmed by another corporation to obtain a patent overseas, and you may not

be able to sell overseas even though you are an inventor.

In recent years, designing for global events such as the Olympic Games has become

difficult to assert its rights. The spread of the Internet makes it easier to search

for designs that are already in each country, and plagiarism can be easily revealed.

Or, it is common for people to feel relieved because they have a patent, and panic

when they expire.

Furthermore, the following problems within the company may occur.

Unexpectedly depriving a normal employee of a research position of his or her rights.

On the other hand, if a researcher with a high level of research ability is hired to produce

research results and the company is solely responsible for the reward, that is also a problem.


One of the ways to avoid patenting is that patents are often legally difficult

and the period of protection is limited. In particular, if the manufacturing method

is difficult, it is difficult to specify the blueprint, or it is difficult to install

the program, it is better not to obtain a patent. If you don't get a patent, you don't have

to disclose your technology for years, you just have to be aware of intellectual theft inside.


However, even if they choose not to patent, it is necessary for the founder to know

the advantages and disadvantages of patents.
