About this position
Technical Transfer Service Co., Ltd. is recruiting patent searchers for its Registered Search Organization Division in Tokyo. The work supports the Japan Patent Office’s examination of patent applications in thermal and cooling equipment.
Searchers work closely with patent examiners to understand the outline of an invention, identify relevant prior art, explain the invention and search findings, report results, and propose possible directions for examination. The role combines technical analysis, patent prior-art research, structured interpretation of engineering documents, and clear presentation in one-to-one discussions with examiners.
The research and technical focus includes thermal engineering, fluid engineering, thermodynamics, air-conditioning equipment, heaters, humidifiers, water heaters, boilers, cooking equipment, refrigerators, and refrigeration systems. The position may suit experienced researchers and engineers with backgrounds in physics, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, or related development work. The organization is also interested in professionals who can formulate hypotheses and proposals and engage constructively with AI-assisted technical work.
The position is based in the Registered Research Organizations Division at the company’s office in the Ark Mori Building, Tokyo. New employees initially undertake company training followed by specialist training connected with certification as a survey operator, becoming eligible for permanent employment after the required training is completed.
