JAPAN PATENT LAW

65.  EFFECTS OF LAYING OPEN OF APPLICATIONS

(1)  When an applicant for a patent has, after the laying open of his patent application, given a warning with a written statement setting forth the contents of the invention claimed in the application, he may claim, against a person who has commercially worked the invention, after the warning but before the registration of the establishment of the patent right, the payment of compensation in a sum of money equivalent to what he would normally be entitled to receive for the working of the invention if the invention were patented.  Even in the absence of the warning, the same shall apply to a person who commercially worked the invention before the registration of the establishment of the patent right, knowing that the invention was claimed in the patent application laid open for public inspection.
