Cases of Infringement on Intellectual Property Rights
When your patent rights and the like are violated, we will assist you in sending a warning letter, negotiating settlement, etc.
For handling infringement of rights, there are various strategic approaches as follows to find a compromise.

- Would like infringer to dispose stocked counterfeits
- Would like infringer to disclose distribution channels
- Would like infringer to stop the use of right from now on

We help you solve each case considering the relationship with the opposing party, extent of infringement, financial balance, and the like while discussing details with you.
If Accused of Infringement
If you receive a warning letter claiming your infringement of intellectual property rights, please first contact us to discuss strategies.
Our experienced patent attorneys precisely grasp the right of the other party in order to decide whether it is infringement upon their right and, depending on the case, offer a best solution while considering jurisdiction of trials for invalidation, trials for cancellation of a registered trademark not in use, etc.

Licensing
When you as aｎ owner permits a third party to use your granted patent right, utility model right, design right, or trademark right, or you want to use a patent right, utility model right, design right, or trademark right of a third party, you need to conclude a license agreement.
When concluding a license agreement, it is necessary to decide various items such as the type of the license agreement, geographic territory, term, nature and quality of the licensed matter, payment of consideration (amount, method and date of payment).
