JP - Try the Patolis service, available as a bureau search from the EPO since it's in Japanese. Patolis-Web version including
some English data is due "soon".
KR - Not much available of anything on the legal status front, I'm afraid. Database producers are having enough trouble
getting a reliable feed of KR-A published applications, let alone anything more sophisticated. There is a rudimentary search
tool on the KRPO website, but again no legal status.
MX - There is some searchable data on the Mexican Patent Office web site at www.impi.gob.mx ; follow the links via "Patentes"
to "Banapa-Net" (Banco Nacional de Patentes en Internet). It appears to be a subscription-only password-controlled site, but
I did not find any indication that it covers anything other than basic bibliographic information. You could try following up
the contact address given at these pages, though.
ES - National and EP legal status is in INPADOC since the beginning of 1992.
