JAPAN PRACTICE GROUP

FirstLaw P.C. has a well-established Japan team built on long standing relationships with the leading companies of Japan. Our Japan team is specialized in providing a full range of services supporting the IP interests of Japanese companies in Korea, providing a “One-Stop Service” for all areas of IP, including filing, examination, trial, litigation, technical search, appraisal, and licensing.

“The Japan team is often relied upon to provide a bridge between the two jurisdictions
through seminars and presentations to IP professionals and companies in Japan.”

The Japan team stays up to date with the most recent developments in Korean and Japanese IP law and practice and remains astutely aware of the differences in the two jurisdictions in order to proactively respond to the ever-changing IP environment. The patent attorneys in the Japan team not only possess professional experience and expertise in the respective areas of machinery, biopharmaceuticals, electronics, chemistry, trademarks and design, but have spent a significant portion of their education and training in Japan. As a result, they are often relied upon to provide a bridge between the two jurisdictions through seminars and presentations to IP professionals and companies in Japan.
