<Tokyo High Court 1984>(Gyo-Ke) 7(July 30, 1985) “Faucet Fitting” Case

June 25,2021

Novelty (related to prior arts)

(Conclusion) Novelty should not be found. (Design right owner lost.)

 A request for an invalidation trial before the JPO by a non-exclusive licensee shall not be contrary to the doctrine of good faith, unless there are special circumstances.

When identifying a design shown in a prior art, not only the drawing(s), but also the text of the appended table etc. can be considered.
