Philosophy
Japanese patent practice and trademark practice have both developed a reputation for being complicated and confusing, and the fact that Japanese intellectual property laws have undergone a number of major revisions since their conception makes this all the more true. We help our clients maneuver through and obtain adequate protection under the applicable Japanese intellectual property laws by providing our clients with sound advice and professional guidance based on our accumulated years of experience.
And we appreciate the fact that intellectual property rights only become truly valuable when they are put to use through enforcement or licensing. S. Kitamura Patent Office's extensive experience in litigation and licensing can help you realize the full value of your intellectual property rights.
We at S. Kitamura Patent Office understand the importance of translation and are proud of the fact that our translators are not only proficient in English but also have strong technical backgrounds. Our translators work closely with experts in the applicable fields of art to produce technically accurate translation for maximum protection.
In addition to translation between Japanese and English, S. Kitamura Patent Office also offers German-to-Japanese translation of patent specifications and other technical documents.
Our language expertise also allows us to maintain good communication with our clients all over the globe. We regularly participate in telephone conferences with clients halfway across the world at hours most convenient for our clients.
