About this position
Technical Transfer Service Co., Ltd. is seeking patent searchers for its Registered Search Organizations Division in Tokyo. The role supports the Japan Patent Office through commissioned prior-art searches for patent examination.
Working closely with patent examiners, the searcher will understand the outline of an invention, identify relevant prior art, explain the invention and search findings, report the results, and propose possible directions for examination. The position combines advanced scientific knowledge with technical communication and presentation skills, and is suited to researchers who want to apply their expertise to patent evaluation and administrative decision-making.
The company is expanding its chemistry-related activities and is particularly interested in expertise involving organic compounds, agrochemicals, dyes, petrochemicals, applied organic materials, inks, cosmetics, emulsification, dispersion, and microcapsules. The broader research environment covers organic synthesis chemistry, polymer chemistry, polymer materials, organic functional materials, and inorganic substances and materials chemistry. Because searches frequently involve English patent documents, experience reading English papers and patents is valuable.
Searchers work within established departments and engage in one-to-one dialogue with Japan Patent Office examiners. The organization includes researchers and professionals with research backgrounds, offering an applied environment at the intersection of chemistry, materials science, patent analysis, and public-sector examination.
