As agreed by the WIPO member states, all sequence listings accompanying patent applications filed in the JPO on or after July 1, 2022, will be required to comply with WIPO Standard ST.26. Patent applications, here, include new applications as well as divisional applications, converted applications (patent applications converted from design applications or utility model applications), applications based on utility model registrations and applications claiming priority. The requirement does not apply to sequence listings filed via Japanese national phase entry of PCT applications having a filing date before July 1, 2022, in which case sequence listings in accordance with the conventional Standard ST.25 should be filed where applicable.
