International patent refers to the patent that takes effect in many countries or regions, and is usually obtained through the international patent application procedure. International patents can be applied for protection in many countries or regions, but they need to be examined and approved separately in each country or region. Japanese patent refers to the patent that is valid in Japan and issued and managed by Japan Patent Office. The scope of application of Japanese patents is limited to Japan. If you need to protect in other countries or regions, you need to apply for a patent in the corresponding countries or regions.
The application procedures and protection scope of international patents and Japanese patents are different, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate protection method according to the specific situation.
