~Solving the problem of old building water piping around the world suffering from red rust deterioration~ The red rust prevention device for piping, "NMR Pipe Protector," has obtained and registered patents in Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Until recently, the Japanese patent system only respected the first-to-file principle, meaning that if someone documented their idea or technology and filed a patent application first, they could obtain the patent. Recently, however, the content of patents has been more rigorously examined to determine whether it is "feasible" and whether the patent content is truly "correct," assessing whether a product can actually be developed from the patent or if it genuinely functions. Only those that pass this scrutiny are registered as patents. In particular, U.S. patents undergo strict examination, and if the patent content is not recognized as an actual product or device, it will not be granted. For example, during the examination of U.S. patents, it is questioned and assessed whether the patented technology is truly "commercially viable." The red rust prevention device for piping, "NMR Pipe Protector," has successfully passed such stringent patent examinations abroad and has been granted and registered patents in major countries around the world.
