Our firm is home to a distinguished team of legal professionals, including Representative Attorney Ryuichi Shitara (former Chief Judge of the Intellectual Property High Court), Patent Attorney Reiko Imamura (former Director-General of the Trial and Appeal Department at the JPO and former Judicial Research Official), and attorneys with extensive experience in IP litigation.

Leveraging their long careers as adjudicators, these experts approach cases from the unique "perspective of the adjudicator". They deeply analyze how judges and examiners make decisions to construct the most effective arguments and proof for infringement litigation, invalidation trials, and litigation to overturn JPO trial decisions, thereby aiming to maximize our clients' interests. We also offer the drafting of legal opinions and expert opinions that utilize the analytical and structural capabilities inherent to the adjudicator's mindset.

Our team includes energetic and experienced attorneys who are readily available for consultation on a diverse array of issues.

Beyond intellectual property matters such as patents, designs, trademarks, copyrights, and unfair competition, our attorneys possess experience in handling consultations related to the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, and various other legal fields. We provide precise solutions backed by high responsiveness and a client-friendly approach.

Representative Attorney Ryuichi Shitara leverages his extensive judicial experience to serve as an arbitrator and expert witness in international arbitration proceedings.

Additionally, our firm maintains a robust network of overseas agents in over 100 countries, specializing in intellectual property rights. Furthermore, through close cooperation with partner attorneys in the United States and China, we have significantly strengthened our ability to handle complex international cases.
