About this position
Technical Transfer Service Co., Ltd. is recruiting patent searchers in Tokyo for its Registered Search Organization Division, supporting prior-art searches commissioned by the Japan Patent Office.
The role involves working closely with Japan Patent Office examiners to support patent examination decisions. Patent searchers interpret the outline of an invention, investigate relevant prior art, explain the invention and search findings, report results, and propose possible directions for examination through one-to-one discussions with examiners.
The opening is particularly relevant to professionals with expertise in biomedical engineering, medical devices, medical and welfare engineering, robotics, mechanical engineering and mechatronics. Priority experience includes robot surgical equipment, nursing robots and general treatment equipment. The position also requires substantial engagement with English patent documents and other technical materials.
Employees join the Registered Research Organizations Division and receive structured preparation for the specialist patent-search function. The work combines technical document analysis, intellectual reasoning, presentation skills and communication with government patent examiners. The company also highlights the value of understanding technical information structurally, developing hypotheses and making proposals, including through the use of AI.
The position is based at the company’s office in Ark Mori Building, Minato-ku, Tokyo, within Japan’s patent and technology-transfer environment.
