1. This is the Demandant's detailed written allegations
listing the reasons for invalidation of the patent in question.
The Demandant must identify itself (e.g., no strawman allowed).
Following the filing of the Demand for Trial ("Demand")
with the JPO, the JPO checks to ensure that all requisite documents
have been properly submitted, and a Board of Appeals consisting of
3 appellate examiners is appointed to hear the case. Clerical
errors can cause delay in the delivery of the Demand, as the JPO
will typically issue a demand for correction of clerical errors
where errors are found, and the Demand will not be delivered until
all identified errors are corrected.
2. The JPO delivers a copy of the Demand to the Demandee (the
patentee) and requests that the Demandee file an Answer to the
allegations contained within the Demand. The Demandee may also
submit claim amendments within the time limit for filing the
Answer.
