Patents, Utility Models and Designs

Our team of patent attorneys, along with our multi-lingual technical specialists, draws on extensive experience in various areas of client representation before the Japan Patent Office (JPO) such as patent filing, utility model and design applications, prosecution (examination) and litigation. We consider the implications of regulatory compliance requirements in order to attain a commercially meaningful scope of protection for your intellectual property. Our team is solution focused when giving you advice regarding invalidation and infringement issues, as well as IPR portfolio management.

We coordinate PCT national phase filings in strategic partnership with local representatives in many East-Asian countries.
