About this position
Technical Transfer Service Co., Ltd. is recruiting patent searchers for its Registered Search Organizations Division in Tokyo. The role supports prior-art searches commissioned by the Japan Patent Office and involves working closely with patent examiners during patent examination.
Patent searchers review and understand the outline of inventions, search for relevant prior art, explain patent contents and search findings, and propose possible directions for examination in one-to-one discussions with examiners. Because examination decisions are based on the reported findings, the position combines advanced technical knowledge, analytical reasoning, and presentation skills.
The company particularly welcomes candidates with research or development experience in general information processing technology, electronic commerce systems, financial systems, databases, data retrieval, natural language processing, and machine translation. Depending on preference and business needs, assignments may also involve amusement technologies such as games, together with related areas including materials and sports equipment.
The position is based in the Registered Research Organizations Division at the company’s office in the Ark Mori Building, Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo. New employees complete company training and an external survey-worker training programme before undertaking the full patent-searcher duties. The work offers an opportunity to contribute technical expertise to the patent examination process and to collaborate directly with Japan Patent Office examiners.
