TECHNOLOGIES WHICH WE DEAL WITH

Machineries
We handle almost all kinds of machineries. In particular, we are specialized in sophisticated
mechanical systems such as a planetary gear, its control system and mechatronics.
Electrics
We are strong in heavy electrical appliances such as electric motors and in light electrical
appliances such as general electronic circuits. In particular, we are specialized in a control system.
Software
While we are capable of handling most software such as those of games, communications
and business model, we are specialized in those of image processing and games in particular.

Actual Results

We filed about 5,000 patent applications in these 10 years. We keep a considerably high rate of
patented applications after examination, though the rate largely depends on a patent strategy
taken by our clients.

UTILITY MODEL

Dealing Technologies

Substantially the same with Patent. We have a very unique idea concerning Utility Model.

Achievements

Utility Model is viewed by such a stereotype that it is inconvenient as a business tool, and
so far, we received a less number of orders of Utility Model. However, Utility Model brings about
many advantages by ingenuity, and we recommend Utility Model depending on an item to be filed.

DESIGN

We have draft women skillful in designing, so that you can file a design application even from rough
sketches. We are experienced in filing design applications even to such developing countries as
Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand and others.

REGISTERED TRADE MARK

We investigates before applications, and our trade mark applications are being mostly registered.

FOREIGN APPLICATIONS

 It is usually cumbersome in terms of management for a client and its agent to file a patent
application to multiple countries. We, as a prominent international patent firm in Japan,
are well experienced in filing applications in the USA, Europe and Asia, i.e., China, Korea,
and South-East Asian countries. It may be worth considering using us as your “HUB” patent
agent in Asia so that you can ease your burden of management.

LITIGATIONS

Lately, we have settled two litigations concerning infringement in the Tokyo District Court
in favor of our clients. In succession, we have also won in litigation rescinding a trial decision.

Concerning possibility of infringement of rights and possibility of being patented, we appraise
and make clear observation based on reasonable logic and our experiences. We are also experienced
in preparing contracts on joint development, license and others. We also deal with search of prior art,
search of invalid reason and others based on our enough experiences.
 Our skillful clerical workers conduct each filing procedure and method always accurately.
