In the preliminary examination, the Japan Patent Office screens the patent applications based on the fields of the invention, and then another office, which will be established later, decides whether the patent applications should be kept secret. A patent application is not published during the primary preliminary examination, the secondary secrecy examination, and a designated secrecy period. Upon the secrecy designation, the government of Japan manages the invention disclosed in the patent application: the working of the invention is restricted; and the applicant is subject to the confidentiality obligation and to take necessary measures to prevent the information of the invention from the leakage. The Defense Agreement between the USA and Japan to Facilitate Interchange of Patent Rights signed in 1956 includes Protocol, which provides for keeping patent applications filed in the government of Japan secret. Upon the enforcement of the patent non-disclosure system in the economic security promotion law by May 18, 2024, such applications would be expected to receive secrecy designation.}, title = {日本法における特許出願の非公開制度の概要}, year = {2022} }
