2023 (Gyo-Ke) 10054 [Protective Member] <Shoji>
Contrary to the “premise” of the publicly worked invention (Exhibit Ko 8), “providing a grip portion on the protective member is not contemplated at all.”
⇒ Inventive step: satisfied
+The statement of the president of the manufacturer of the publicly worked product was also ineffective: priority was given to the objective understanding derived from the brochure.
