Exercise of Intellectual Property Rights

In our firm, intellectual property rights of various kinds are analyzed their efficacy and are analyzed their possibilities of infringing, or being infringed by, other intellectual property rights. After the analyses, our firm will support our client to license a concerned party, by negotiating with the party on the loyalty payment. Furthermore, through an appeal and litigation (suit against appeal decision / action for infringement), our firm will provide our clients with the firmest protections for their benefits. Our Litigation Certified Intellectual Property Attorneys will request the court to order a person who has injured the business reputation of our clients by infringing the patent right or exclusive license, whether intentionally or negligently, to (i) pay the compensation for damages or reimburse unjust enrichment, and (ii) take the measures necessary for the recovery of the business reputation.
