Features

Searches

Our dedicated patent attorneys and search specialists in charge of your cases closely collaborate to maximize the usefulness of searches and analyses.

Prosecution

Our highly-skilled technical staff from various backgrounds prepares prompt and accurate document translations such as patent specifications and office actions.  In the examination stage, we provide comprehensive analyses and proposals for responding to office actions that hinge on our in-depth knowledge of Japanese practice and cutting edge technical innovations.  We routinely formulate and propose well-judged strategies for appeals against decisions of rejection to tackle the rejection upon ascertaining the examination statuses of counterpart applications.

Post-Grant Oppositions and Trials for Invalidation

We regularly handle post-grant oppositions and trials for invalidation with our meticulous approach by teaming up with multiple patent attorneys who possess the appropriate technical background.  When a third party’s patent rights may impact our client, we proactively conduct an invalidation search to formulate solid grounds for invalidating or revoking the patent.

Legal Opinions and Litigation

Our competent patent attorneys specializing in the technical area concerned provide solution-focused legal opinions on invalidity, infringement, freedom to operate (FTO), etc. in cooperation with our search division.  Our experienced attorneys-at-law and technically well-versed patent attorneys have significant experience in litigating all types of complex cases to achieve the best outcomes which align with our clients’ goals.
