J-PlatPat as database
These days, there are many privately-operated patent databases, and I think that many people who conduct patent searches use one of these databases.The Japanese Patent Office also provides a database service on a site called J-PlatPat.Although it lacks a variety of services compared to databases operated by the private sector, it is worth using as it is the largest database of domestic patents.Therefore, in this column, I will introduce J-PlatPat as a database and its simple usage.
