Copyright, Patent & Other Fields of Intellectual Property Rights

We not only handle copyright-related litigation and advisory services but also manage copyright affairs mainly for software companies. We represent both domestic and international prominent software companies, performing a comprehensive range of tasks from infringement verification, official correspondence, phone negotiations to litigation. In addition to software, we have extensive experience in resolving disputes related to content copyright infringement.

We provide representation for all aspects of intellectual property rights including patent, design and trademark, from filing to registration and enforcement, with a focus on IT technology. With experience in numerous applications, adjudications, litigations, consultations, valuations, and licensing tasks, we support clients in obtaining robust intellectual property rights based on this foundation.

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

We have expertise in legal issues related to open source software, including open source license matters. In particular, we possess in-house capabilities to verify open source components from both source code and binary code. This enables us to provide specific diagnoses and recommendations from a legal perspective for software developers and users.

International Services

We handle all procedures from filing to registration and enforcement of intellectual property rights in major countries such as the United States, Japan, China, and Europe. Recognized for our expertise, we manage not only domestic companies but also handle the outsourcing of key country applications for major international corporations including big Japanese companies.

Venture/Startup Companies

We offer diverse consulting services, from establishment to operation and the legal requirements necessary for successful venture/startup businesses. Our experience includes resolving various disputes such as management conflicts, shareholder disputes, and employment-related conflicts, ensuring entrepreneurs can successfully operate their venture/startup businesses.
