Providing advice with broader perspective

Services

Patent prosecution in Japan

Our strength lies in handling Paris-route application and PCT national phase application in full consideration of differences of legal systems between Japan and your country at reasonable cost.

Quick response

In order to reduce stress caused by time lag, QUICK RESPONSE is our policy, so if you ask us any question, you can expect to receive our answer in the same day in principle except for complicated matters regarding the content of the invention.

Prior art search

Our search involves patent infringement search, patent validity search (including foreign patent validity search). It takes at least 3 weeks to output related prior art with a brief comment. If you need to search Japanese patent resource or non-patent resource, please do not hesitate to contact us by Inquiry form.

Translation

English to Japanese, Japanese to English. Underlying principle is "Translate with full respect for original meaning of each word", which is learned from my 7-year experience on handling foreign patent application.

Third party submission

In Japan, pre-issurance third party submission is welcome and fully considered by the Japan Patent Office (72% of submitted documents are raised successfully by Office Action in December, 2011). Only if you could send us documents to be submitted with brief explanation about the outline of arguments, we will prepare persuasive logics on how the application should be rejected. Our service includes a result report (about how the scope of claims is finally limited) as a result of the submission.

Technical Fields

Our firm covers not only chemistry but also a wide range of technical fields such as pharmaceuticals, food process engeneering, metal engeneering, daily necessities, structures, machines and electronic devices.
