About this position

Technical Transfer Service Co., Ltd. is recruiting biotechnology patent prior-art searchers for its Registered Research Organizations Division in Tokyo. The role supports commissioned prior-art searches for the Japan Patent Office and involves working closely with patent examiners during examination decisions.

Searchers analyze the outline of patent applications, identify relevant prior art, explain the patent and search findings, and propose possible directions for examination in one-to-one discussions with examiners. The position combines life-sciences expertise with patent analysis, technical interpretation, presentation, and structured reasoning. It is particularly suited to researchers who can read scientific and patent literature in English and translate complex technical information into clear, useful recommendations.

The company is expanding its biotechnology-related work and is especially interested in expertise in molecular biology, immunology, genetic engineering, and cell engineering. Experience or knowledge connected with medical and food fields is also welcomed. The advertised research areas include molecular biology, structural biochemistry, genomics, cell biology, and developmental biology.

Employees join the Registered Research Organizations Division and initially undertake company and INPIT training related to certification as a survey operator. The work is based at the company’s Tokyo office, with limited remote work potentially available after employees become proficient, subject to confidentiality and dedicated-terminal restrictions. The role offers an opportunity to contribute directly to patent examination through specialized scientific analysis.

Funding details

The position offers annual income from 3,000,000 yen, with a monthly salary of 220,000 yen during the four-month training period and guaranteed first-year annual income of 3,200,000 yen. Example annual income is 3,200,000–3,800,000 yen in year one and 4,200,000–8,000,000 yen in year two. The company covers INPIT training costs. Bonuses are paid twice yearly, and retirement, commuting, health, pension, workers' compensation, and employment insurance systems are available.

What's required

Applicants must have a four-year university degree in science or engineering and may hold a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree. Candidates need at least four years of cumulative research and development experience in science, engineering, or medicine, including veterinary medicine; the requirement is reduced to at least two years for master's degree holders and waived for doctoral degree holders. Expertise in molecular biology, immunology, genetic engineering, cell engineering, medical fields, food fields, or related technical areas is welcomed. Applicants should be able to read technical documents, including English papers and patent documents, structurally understand them, formulate hypotheses, make proposals, and communicate findings effectively. Successful re-employment as a permanent employee requires completion of the INPIT Survey Worker Training Course and its examinations.

How to apply

Email a resume and work history to [email protected], password-protecting the documents and sending the password in a separate email. Postal applications are also accepted at the Recruitment Department, P.O. Box 575, 33rd Floor, Ark Mori Building, Tokyo 107-6033, Japan.
