In the case of 24bit JPEG in Exif format, before sending them to servers, they are converted into 24bit JPEG in JFIF format and the specific information on Exif is removed. *Supplemental explanation : they're converted by application software, and then sent to receptions. In addition to the above, there are parts to convert such as the following. In the case of accumulation of design searches, new image files embedded drawing names into are created. And whole and substitute drawings are created by putting multiple drawings of them together into one image. Moreover, the size is changed as follows. (no changes in extensions)  1) Each drawing - Black and white : 2362×1780 dots, Color : 1200×904 dots  2) Substitute, whole and correction drawings - Black and white : 4677×3307 dots, Color : 12980×904 dots   In regard to JPEG of Hague applications, whole drawings of the same cases are reduced with the reduction ratio used for when the largest size drawing is reduced to the following. And they're converted into 24bit full color with the same ratio. Size : within 150×113(mm),Resolution : within 200dpi

In regard to images in black and white, applicants create them in PNG/GIF/BMP. However, the images are converted into TIFF before sending them to servers. (In the case PNG/GIF are not black and white binary, they're converted into black and white binary. In the case BMP is not black and white binary, it's considred to be "error".) * Supplemental explanation : they're converted by application softwares, and then sent to receptions.

Straight-line surface shading and stippling

Under the current national regulation, a set of aspect views are required to be submitted; For 3D products: 6 aspect views (front view, back view, top view, bottom view, left-side view and right-side view) For 2D products: 2 aspect views (front view, rear view). Some of these views may be omitted under certain conditions, e.g. identical and/or mirror image, etc. These requirements for the number and the angle of the aspect views to be submitted are now under review and will be abolished in the near future. The other views than the aspect views in the list may be allowed as supplementary/additional views. In case of "surface shading and stippling", it is recommended to describe to that effect so as to avoid undesirable confusion with surface patterns. For further details, see the "Guide for making Applications and Drawings for Design Registration" at https://www.jpo.go.jp/tetuzuki_e/t_tokkyo_e/design_making_app.html

As stated in Q1 above, in principle, 6 aspect views (for 3D products) or 2 aspect views (for 2D products) are currently required. However, since some views may be omitted under certain conditions, e.g. identical and/or mirror image, etc., there may also be cases where only one view is enough to show the filed design. The current requirements for the number and the angle of the aspect views to be submitted are now under review and will be abolished in the near future.
