Newly introduced PCT Resources in Japanese
In response to a request from a number of Japanese-speaking users, the Japanese PCT website now provides two new PCT resources in Japanese.
A provisional Japanese translation of the PCT Administrative Instructions as in force from 1 July, 2022 is available in PDF format alongside the English HTML version on the Legal Texts page at:
https://www.wipo.int/pct/ja/texts/index.html
A search function for the Practical Advice section of the PCT Newsletter in Japanese has also recently been launched. This is the same tool provided in the English version. The function allows users to enter a keyword to look for a Practical Advice section in which the keyword appears. The tool is available in the “Links” box on the right hand side of the PCT Newsletter page at:
