SDGs related services


Incorporating an SDGs perspective
We will propose a patent specification.
SDGs is a very broad concept consisting of 17 goals. Therefore, it is possible to claim that your invention contributes to the achievement of the SDGs, regardless of the technical field. We consider SDGs for inventions in all fields and propose enrichment and multifaceted descriptions in patent specifications.
Patent specifications that clearly demonstrate contributions to achieving the SDGs are an opportunity for your company's technology to attract attention as a subject of patent classification and value evaluation from the perspective of the SDGs, which have been attracting attention in recent years. We also believe that accumulating patent applications like this will help our customers demonstrate their commitment to SDGs.
By countering counterfeit products,
We provide support for achieving the SDGs
Measures against counterfeit products are said to contribute to the realization and achievement of the SDGs. In response to requests from rights holder companies, this has been stipulated in the "SDGs Action Plan" as a specific measure of the "SDGs Implementation Guidelines" decided by the government's SDGs Promotion Headquarters.
Counterfeit products not only damage the benefits that rights holders should receive, but also have the potential to endanger the health and safety of consumers by putting inferior products on the market, and can also serve as a source of funds for criminal organizations. , there are also concerns about its negative impact on society as a whole.
"Import-Export Suspension Support”, we support countermeasures against counterfeit products from various aspects.
In addition, as part of our countermeasures against counterfeit products, we have launched an online intellectual property law firm that investigates and takes effective legal action on behalf of our clients, both domestically and internationally, regarding infringing acts such as the sale of counterfeit products and the unauthorized use of brand names. We also provide patrol services.
We accept inquiries regarding the use of WIPO GREEN.
We also provide registration support.
By utilizing WIPO GREEN, you can expect effects such as improving your brand's international image, expanding marketing channels, and discovering business partners.
