Konishi & Nakamura IP Seminar #66 Design Practice: Assessing Similarity of Designs - The Basics

To be held on Friday, 25 September 2026. Learn to explain why two designs are — or are not — similar, with reasoning rather than intuition. We set out the analytical framework shared by the JPO examination guidelines and the case law, applied to the practical settings where it matters: pre-filing searches, assessing the scope of protection, and evaluating infringement risk against third-party designs. Free of charge, held in hybrid format. Please note that the seminar is conducted in Japanese, without interpretation. Full details below.
