National Institute of Bioscience and Human Technology

PERM acronym derived from the former name of the Fermentation Research Institute (FRI), in Japan, which later became the Patent Microorganism Depository of the National Institute of Bioscience and Human Technology (NIBH). As previously mentioned, the Budapest Treaty requires deposition of the biological material subject to a patent application. In Japan and some other countries, an applicant for a patent concerning a microorganism has to submit a receipt of that deposition to the Patent Office at filing. The depository checks viability and would furnish a sample of the microorganism to a third party only for study and research, under the established rules of the treaty.
