Don't make AI your lover! Don't use AI, think and write for yourself !! Don't be fooled by AI !! We request the disclosure of the search formula that appears to have been created by a patent office examiner!! The plaintiff's claim was dismissed (Plaintiff = Mitsubishi Chemical and others' rights invalid). This isthe 313th case to be declared "invalid" by the Intellectual Property High Court. drive.google.com/file/d/19FK… docs.google.com/spreadsheets… The patent holder, Mitsubishi Chemical (and others), was defeated in an invalidation trial (Invalid 2011-800165) by Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd., which is believed to be an interested party, at the Japan Patent Office's trial division. Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd., the plaintiff, presented various prior art documents as evidence A, among which the examiner recognized "A4 Invention" (JP Patent Publication No. 10-165152) as a strong prior art document. The examiner then invalidated the patents of Mitsubishi Chemical and others. The patent holders, Mitsubishi Chemical (and others), were dissatisfied with this decision and filed a lawsuit with the Intellectual Property High Court, but as mentioned above, they lost, and the patent rights were invalidated. The Intellectual Property High Court's decision largely followed the decisions of the Japan Patent Office's invalidation examiners. The problem in this case is the investigative ability of the examiners and examiners at the Japan Patent Office's examination and appeal stages. At both of the above stages, "A4 Invention" (JP Patent Publication No. 10-165152) could not be found. The examiner of the Japan Patent Office (Naoyoshi Takiguchi) was not satisfied with the patent documents provided by the searcher (KY23) of the registered search organization (General Incorporated Foundation Industrial Property Cooperation Center IPCC), so he created his own search formula to search for further prior art and presented it to the applicant. However, the nine patent documents presented to the applicant did not include the above-mentioned {A4 Invention (JP Patent Publication 10-165152). In the trial appeal, the examiners also issued a "Notice of Reasons for Refusal," but without any citations, and simply stated that "the description of the claims is incomplete, and therefore violates the provisions of Article 36, Paragraph 6, Item 1 of the Patent Act." Here again, the weak research capabilities of the Japan Patent Office, especially the examiners, are proven. It is not acceptable for the Japan Patent Office to grant a patent to an applicant based on a sloppy (search) at the examination and trial stages. Therefore, I believe that the Japan Patent Office should not have granted a patent to the applications of Mitsubishi Chemical and others. Here, I have listed the "FI" and "F-term" from the "Application Information" of this patent publication (2008-109926) on the second sheet and beyond of this Excel document. In this case, there seems to be a problem with the classification assignment. In other words, there is only one classification each ("FI" and "F-term") assigned to this patent publication (2008-109926), which is far too few. This may be affecting the examiner's review (search). In addition, we attach materials such as "Selection of search terms and classifications (FI, F-terms) and creation of search logical formulas," "Specific examples," "Searches using insufficient and irrelevant "logical search formulas" conducted by searchers at a registered research organization," and "Patent documents that searchers at a registered research organization (AIRI Co., Ltd.) were unable to find." drive.google.com/file/d/1T5b… docs.google.com/spreadsheets… (日本語原文) ♡(6/13)。くた・れAI 。AI依存症になるな !

Many founders worry about sales. Few worry about protection. Your business name may not be protected. Your product may not be protected. Your technology may not be protected. The best time to think about intellectual property is before everyone knows who you are.

THE #CULTURAL GOLDMINE: Why the World is #Obsessed with Africa, but Our Youth Are Still Broke* Open Spotify, TikTok, or Instagram right now, and the global soundtrack is clear: *Africa has captured the world’s attention.* From #Afrobeats dominating global charts to African fashion strutting down Paris runways, and African digital creators going viral from London to Tokyo; our culture is the hottest commodity on the planet. The world is #mesmerized by our dance, our rhythm, our style, and our resilience. We boast about this online. We wave our national flags in the comment sections of international celebrities. We celebrate when a global star samples our sounds. But behind the viral videos and the global hype lies a frustrating, systemic paradox: *The world is consuming African culture, but foreign corporations and platforms are the ones owning the bank accounts where that money lands.* We need to have a serious, unfiltered conversation with our peers. If we don’t move from being just the *creators* of culture to the *owners* of the #infrastructure, we will remain a generation that entertains the world while begging for financial crumbs. Cultural Influence Without Capital Is Just Noise For centuries, Africa’s raw physical materials (gold, cocoa, crude oil) were exported, processed abroad, and sold back to us at premium prices. Today, a new form of resource extraction is happening in plain sight: *Cultural #Extraction.* - *The Consumer Mindset:* We create a dance trend or a unique sound, post it for free on a foreign-owned platform, chase "clout" and "likes," and let their algorithms monetize our brilliance to sell ads to global brands. - *The Investor #Mindset:* Treating our cultural heritage as premium, bankable intellectual property (IP). It means packaging our stories, licensing our music #properly, trademarking our designs, and building local distribution networks. ``` The #Clout Loop: Raw Talent ➔ Social Media Hype ➔ Millions of Views ➔ Zero Royalty Payments ➔ Validation Only The #Value Loop Raw Talent ➔ Intellectual Property (IP) ➔ Global Licensing ➔ Multi-Currency Inflow ➔ Wealth Creation ``` Entertainment and culture are not just hobbies to cure boredom; they are multi-billion-dollar global industries. When you see a global brand adopting African aesthetics, don't just feel proud& ask yourself: *Who signed the contract, and where is the royalty check going?* *How to Own the Narrative* As digital natives in 2026, we don't need a middleman in London or New York to grant us #permission to earn. The internet has democratized global distribution, but it requires us to step up our business game: From Creator to Business Owner: If you are a graphic designer, stop just making memes; start selling premium African-inspired digital assets, fonts, and textures globally. If you are a writer, stop just micro-blogging on social media; self-publish your stories on global platforms where readers pay for premium content. If you are a fashion designer, build a solid e-commerce pipeline that makes shipping from Accra to Atlanta seamless. Monetizing your identity isn't about selling out; it’s about demanding equity for your creativity. The Valuation Check:* Look at your creative output over the last six months. If your content or art has generated thousands of views, shares, or #compliments, but hasn't generated a single dollar in asset value or income, you are a digital sharecropper. You are clearing the land, but the platform owners are eating the harvest Are We Too Focused on "Clout" Instead of Coins? To shift our collective mindset, we have to change what we value in our creative circles. Let’s bring this raw #debate to our group chats today.

Love, light, and a little fire, because, um, we haven't moved yet. ☄️ I'm going to battle the TVA for this one... 📜 The Parable of the Open Loom In a valley between the mountains of Memory and the oceans of Tomorrow, there stood a magnificent, open-air pavilion. Inside it rested the Great Loom. For as long as anyone could remember, the Loom spun threads of vibrant, living light. Each thread was a story, a face, and a power. There was a fiery green thread named Loki, a thunderous blue thread named Zeus, a shifting silk thread named Anansi, and a golden thread named Sun Wukong. For generations, the weavers of the valley came to the pavilion. Anyone could sit at the bench. A grandmother would slide a wooden shuttle through the loom, weaving Loki into a cautious bedtime story about the dangers of greed. The next day, a young poet would pluck the very same thread, weaving Loki into a rebellious anthem about breaking unjust laws. The threads belonged to the Loom, and the Loom belonged to the valley. The stories grew stronger, richer, and more colorful because they were constantly touched by new hands. Then, one morning, a group of travelers arrived wearing matching dark robes and carrying iron padlocks. They called themselves The Order of the Sealed Thread. They marched into the pavilion, pushed the local weavers away from the bench, and began clipping the threads. They took a fraction of the green thread, wrapped it tightly around a shiny new plastic spool, and stamped it with their official seal. "From this day forward," the leader of the Order announced, "this specific shade of green belongs to us. No one may weave with it, sing of it, or paint it without paying us a tribute of gold." The villagers were outraged. "You cannot own the green thread!" a young weaver cried. "Our ancestors spun it from the northern lights before your Order was even a thought in the dirt!" "We do not claim to own the northern lights," the leader replied smoothly, holding up the plastic spool. "We only own this spool, this exact cut, and the specific pattern we have stamped upon it. If you make a pattern that looks too much like ours, our guards will confiscate your cloth." The Order built a stone wall around their spools. But they forgot one crucial thing: they could not wall in the Loom itself. The Loom was deeply rooted in the bedrock of human imagination. As the Order sat inside their stone fortress, jealously guarding their plastic spools, the Great Loom kept spinning. New, raw green thread spilled out of the earth, free and wild. The villagers sat outside the walls, gathered around the open fire, and kept weaving. They did not touch the Order’s specific plastic spools—they didn't need to. They had the infinite source. They wove new patterns, gave the trickster new clothes, and told bolder stories that the Order's rigid walls could never contain. Inside the fortress, the Order's clipped threads eventually grew dusty, static, and faded. But outside, in the open air, the ancient myths stayed alive, fluid, and forever changing—belonging to everyone, and therefore, belonging to none else. #PublicDomain #Mythology #Folklore #Storytelling #CreativeFreedom #Loki #Parable #OpenSource #ArtisticFreedom #WebOfStories #Multiverse #BreakingRigidStructures #AncientLegends #SharedCulture #IntellectualProperty #FairUse #CreativeCommons #TheGreatLoom #TricksterGod #StoryWeavers #UnboundedCreativity #CulturalHeritage #FreeExpression #MythicThreads #ModernLegends
