Examination Process

In an age where knowledge assets play significant roles in the economic development of nations, the patent system has become one of the essential drivers of technological and economic advancement. Thus, the essence of examining inventions is to ensure good quality of patents granted by a patent office and to ensure that such patent applications satisfy the novelty, inventive step, and industrial application criteria. It is standard practice in most countries that patent applications by patentees go through examination processes before they are granted patents. Local patent rules usually guide such examination processes. The Nigerian patent system is not an exception to such practice. However, it suffices to submit only necessary documents for inspection by officials of the Nigerian Patent Registry before a patent is granted. This process of registering patents in Nigeria, which is the depository process of examination, is not thorough compared to the substantive method of examination. The substantive procedure is lacking in the Nigerian patent system. The need for a substantive process of examination in Nigeria is what this article discusses. The article recommends a mix of both the depository and the substantive process of examination in Nigeria, as practised in some countries to issue quality patents that would aid technological and economic growth in the country. The article also concludes that much more needs to be done by the government and policymakers in Nigeria in terms of funds, human resources, and other things to ensure the institution and sustenance of a substantive method of examination of patent applications.

Abstract A low-quality patent system threatens to slow the pace of technological progress. Concerns about low patent quality are supported by estimates from litigation studies suggesting that most US patents granted should not have been issued. We propose a new model for measuring patent quality, based on equivalent patent applications submitted to multiple offices. Our method allows us to distinguish whether low-quality patents are issued because an office implements a low standard or because it violates its own standard. The results suggest that quality in patent systems is higher than previously thought. Specifically, the percentage of granted patents that are below each office’s own standard is under 10% for all offices. The Japanese patent office has a higher percentage of granted patents below its own standard than those from Europe, the USA, Korea, and China. This result arises from the fact that Japan has a higher standard than other offices. (JEL O34, K2, L4, F42)

The good growth of Indonesian human resources, of course, starts from the womb or prenatal period, under five years of age, children, adolescents, to working productive ages. This study chose the topic of stunting, because of the urgency to improve the competitiveness of Indonesian human resources in the regional and international realms. Superior human resources are certainly formed from a long process since childhood. This paper aims to apply the concept of sustainable development goals (SDGs) as a framework adopted by the Government of Indonesia in reducing the prevalence of stunting cases and to provide the latest holistic analysis regarding the implementation of SDGs policies by the Government of Indonesia in reducing the prevalence of stunting cases. This study used qualitative research methods. The result of this research is that collaboration between state and non-state actors is needed to handle stunting cases in Indonesia. Starting from the synergy between ministries / institutions and collaboration with academics, public health scholars, companies, and foreign parties. These results are important as recommendations for each stakeholder in implementing the SDGs concept to reduce the prevalence of stunting cases in Indonesia.</em></p>

Abstrak. Marriage statistics in Indonesia annually reach an average of 2 million couples. That is a fantastic number and very influential on the possibility of social changes in society. The quality of a marriage is largely determined by the two prospective marriage partners in welcoming household life.

Patent Examination

We show that examiner-driven variation in patent rights leads to quantitatively large impacts on several patent outcomes, including patent value, citations, and litigation. Notably, Patent Assertion Entities (PAEs) overwhelmingly purchase patents granted by “lenient” examiners. These examiners issue patents that are more likely to be litigated by both PAEs and conventional companies, and that also have higher invalidity rates. PAEs leverage a specific friction in the patent system that stems from lenient examiners and affects litigation more broadly. These patterns indicate that there is much at stake during patent examination, contradicting the influential “rational ignorance” view of the patent office. (JEL K11, K41, O31, O34, O38)
