PUBLICATION

　　　We have been studying judicial precedents on intellectual properties. The reflection of our study resulted in publishing "Patent Practice Manual based on Judicial Precedents" in 1990, and we have revised it four times by 2012. Now its 5th edition is available. In 2021, we partly revised the previous book and published "Patenting Tactics based on Court Precedents." We have applied such a study result to our practice and achieved high granting rate.
