Bengo Revolution, a Digital Document Tool Developed by Lawyers, Launches Free 'Submission Preparation App' for mints Filing Format

Bengo.com Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President, CEO, and Attorney-at-Law: Taichiro Morigoe, hereinafter “the Company”), provider of the digital document utilization tool 'Bengo Revolution' for lawyers, announces the free launch of the 'Submission Preparation App'. This app streamlines the complex tasks associated with electronic document submission to courts via mints (civil litigation electronic filing system) while simultaneously preventing information leaks originating from files.

◾️ What is the 'Submission Preparation App'?

With the implementation of civil court IT reforms in May 2026, electronic filing of documents to courts via mints has become mandatory. This has led to an increase in labor-intensive tasks unique to electronic submissions, such as assigning evidence numbers, adding page numbers, and formatting documents to court-prescribed standards. Additionally, failure to remove internal information remaining in PDF files may lead to unintended data leaks.

This app is a submission preparation tool specialized for legal practice, designed to simultaneously improve efficiency and prevent information leaks arising from file submissions.

<Features of the 'Submission Preparation App'>

1. One-click automation of the entire evidence submission process

Electronic court submissions require numerous manual tasks: assigning evidence numbers and embedding them in the upper-right corner, adding page numbers, formatting documents to court-prescribed sizes (e.g., A3/A4), and generating file names compliant with evidence numbering standards. The app automates all these steps in a seamless workflow, significantly reducing the time and effort required for submission preparation.

2. Complete automation of metadata removal and leak checks

PDF files often retain metadata such as author names, editing history, and internal comments. Manual verification and removal are time-consuming and prone to oversight.

The app automatically executes the following processes, eliminating staff verification and processing costs while ensuring reliable, error-free data leak prevention:

- Erasure of metadata and properties

- Forced deletion of internal information (e.g., log data not visible on printed pages), selectively removing data likely to diverge from visible content

- Automatic execution of leak checks

3. Zero implementation and operational costs

The app is provided completely free of charge. Not only are there no setup fees, but it also eliminates the need for staff to manually perform metadata removal and leak checks, significantly reducing the following operational costs previously incurred for security assurance:

- Time spent on metadata verification and removal

- Costs of maintaining double-check systems

- Staff mental fatigue and loss of concentration

4. Comprehensive security and quality assurance

The app performs all file processing locally on the user’s device without any external data transmission. User security is further guaranteed through the following measures:

- Certified under ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 (international standards for information and cloud security)

- Source code audited at the code level by attorneys holding CISSP certification

- Regular updates

- Completed external vulnerability assessments
