This time, the date is approaching, Patent Search Competition 2022 (Reference XNUMX), Kudo and Ishizaka, who are planning to participate, will be participating in the 2019 Grand Prize winner Hasama (Reference XNUMX, Reference XNUMX), I would like to introduce the pattern of the round-table discussion with Mr.

Kudo　The patent search competition is approaching.

Hashima　Well, it's that time of year again.This year it will be held on Saturday, September 9rd.Mr. Kudo and Mr. Ishizaka, how do you perceive the patent search competition?

Ishizaka　I think there is meaning in participating (laughs).

Kudo　Continuing from last year, by participating in this year's event, I take it as an opportunity to grasp my strengths and weaknesses and to confirm what I am lacking.Also, I would like to grasp what kind of skills and knowledge are currently required by guessing the intent of the question from the question (Kiri).

Hashima　Mr. Kudo participates every year, and as you participate every year, you realize that you are lacking and that you are improving yourself.Mr. Ishizaka will be participating for the first time in a while. What made him decide to participate this year?

Ishizaka　I reconsidered that I needed a place to measure my current abilities outside of my work, and decided to participate for the first time in a long time.

Hashima　Do you have any goals for participating?

Ishizaka　Rather than my goal, the tournament is also a place for practice, and as Mr. Kudo said, I also think that it is an opportunity to confirm where I stand and where I need to improve further.My grades will actually come out, and I would like to improve on what I am lacking and make use of it in my daily work.

Kudo　As a goal, I have received bronze and silver certifications in the past, so I want gold certification this year! …I hope I can get it.

Hashima-Ishizaka　Oh!reliable!

Ishizaka　Mr. Hasama has also won the highest award in the past!

Kudo　In Aztec, not only Mr. Hashima, who won the first prize, there are other people who have won, and we often win in the top three in team competitions (Reference XNUMX).I think we have really talented people.

Ishizaka　Mr. Kudo is one of them.Mr. Hasama and Mr. Kudo have both achieved excellent grades.

Hashima　I always keep an eye out for related topics, including analyzing past questions, recent topics in the intellectual property industry, legal revisions, and system revisions.

Kudo　I am actively involved in various searchs, expanding the scope of what I can do, while keeping in mind the basics.

Ishizaka　Thank you.Also, do you have study sessions?

Kudo　It's a study group where competition participants and volunteers in the company gather.

Hashima　In addition to study sessions, some employees participate every year, so our company has an environment that makes it easy for new employees to participate and develop their abilities.

Ishizaka　While listening to the story again, I felt like I should do my best.It's just that this year will be held remotely, so it seems that you will feel lonely on the day.

Kudo　If it is held remotely, I can use my usual work environment, so I think I can relax on the contrary.

Ishizaka　surely!Thinking about it can help you relax.I'm usually alone when I work remotely, so it's the same as that.

Kudo　Can you relax?Let's do our best as usual!

Ishizaka　Ganbarimasu.

All　(Lol)

Hashima　Do you have any resolutions or ambitions based on this discussion?

Ishizaka　I think I'll be nervous, but I'm going to try my best without getting overwhelmed.

Kudo　I will aim for gold certification by keeping my usual attitude of valuing the basics, accurately grasping the questions, and answering them (laughs).

Hashima　I look forward to working with you both.Good luck!

　The patent search competition is just around the corner.Let's do our best at the tournament while thanking everyone who participated in the tournament and everyone involved in the tournament!
