How to Find Patent Information

This site has information on Japanese Patent news and procedures but does not have access to actual patents

The Trilateral Co-operation was set up in 1983 between the European Patent Office (EPO), the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and
the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The majority of all patent applications filed worldwide, including PCT applications, are processed by the Trilateral Offices. Through harmonisation and development of industrial property administration and protection of industrial property rights, the Trilateral Offices strive to contribute to an increasingly efficient worldwide patent system in the 21st century.
