Outline
• Review PPH work productions
– PPH (Paris route)
– PCT-PPH
– PPH MOTTAINAI
• Case study (2nd screen: Mobile, TV, Server)

IPO Technical fields
JPO patent map
IP5 – the world’s five biggest intellectual
property offices
• IP5 = EPO + JPO + KIPO + SIPO + USPTO (meeting at 2008/10/27-28)
– Support for 90% patent application filed worldwide + 93% work under PCT
– Reason: • The world sees economic barriers between nations fade away
– Vision: • The elimination of unnecessary duplication of work
– recognising the growing number of filings & pending applications in all five offices
– recognising the urgency of taking action
• The enhancement of patent examination & Guarantee of the stability of patent right:
– recognising the impact on the operation of the patent system [email protected] & cise.ntut

PPH (Paris Route)
• USPTO is currently in negotiations with other Patent Offices to become PPH partners – OSF can utilize search & examination results from the
OFF to accelerate examination • Improve quality of examination, and avoid duplication of
work

[PCT-PPH] Triway Pilot program
• Triway pilot program is limited to 100 applications of diverse technologies – Member offices: USPTO + EPO + JPO – During = one year [2008/7/28 ~ 2009/7/28]
[email protected] & cise.ntut 7
Ref: JPO
PPH MOTTAINAI Pilot program-1
• MOTTAINAI(もったいない, 勿体無い) – "a sense of regret concerning waste when the
intrinsic value of an object or resource is not properly utilized”
• PPH MOTTAINAI – Make PPH program more available for patent
applicants
[email protected] & cise.ntut 8
Ref: PPH MOTTAINAI http://www.jpo.go.jp/ppph-portal/mottainai.htm
Important date # Participators (offices)
2011/7/15 (launch) 8 JPO, USPTO, UK-IPO, CIPO (Canada), IP Australia, NBPR (Finland), ROSPATENT (Russia) & SPTO (Spain)
2012/1/29 1 EPO (European Patent Office)
2012/7/14 (end): all decision regarding extension and termination of the pilot affects only the respective bilateral offices concluding agreements
current PPH scheme
(2011/7/15~)
• OFF has to provide its examination results before the other offices accept PPH requests – the OFF does not always conduct the examinations
before the OSFs do theirs
– Therefore, 8 patent offices agreed to lunch a revised PPH (called PPH MOTTAINAI) • an applicant can make PPH requests at OLE by using the
examination results of the OEE,
• provided that the OEE and OLE have a PPH MOTTAINAI agreement

Case 2: OFF is other than Office A or Office B.
Case 1: OSF (Office B) provides the examination result to the OFF (Office A).

• US8014768 (2011) Mobile phone multimedia controller (abstract) – … A software application is provided
for the mobile phone which receives inputs entered by a user on the mobile phone's keypad and translates the inputs into commands that are recognized by a multimedia device • Ex. the multimedia device may be a TV,
set top box, or a digital video recorder such as a Tivo or ReplayTV
– …Mapping of the commands entered on the mobile phone into commands recognized by the remote device may occur on the phone, at a central server, or at the device itself
