The Japanese courts may issue a decision recognizing a foreign insolvency proceeding upon the filing of a petition by the debtor or its trustee or receiver. Although the courts have little or no discretion regarding recognition if the filed petition satisfies the requirements of the Law on Recognition and Relief of Foreign Insolvency Proceedings, they have greater freedom in terms of the effects of such recognition.
The Office of the Controller General of Patents, Trademarks and Designs recently issued a public notice to alert all patentees and licensees to the mandatory filing provision of a working statement on Form 27 as prescribed under Section 146(1) of the Patents Act 1970. The working statement must provide details of the patent's commercial use in India, starting from the third year of the grant.
