ISHII’S BELIEF

Our firm was originally founded by late Mr. AKEO ISHII, Japanese patent attorney, in 1975. After organizational transformation, we are now providing IP services to clients as a corporate body. We also provide IP services covering a wide range of arenas through which we have been devoted to assisting clients from varied industries with their business development.

For example, when faced with such problems as maintaining market share against rival companies, planning to start a new business, and preventing parent company from placing orders with companies other than your own, it becomes easier to crack the nut if intellectual property rights including design patents, registered trademarks and patents have been acquired and are readily available.
We take the belief of the motto as “to win without a fight” for a successful IP strategy and help our clients to forge IP rights necessary for accomplishing the strategy among the many other IP services.

For SMEs to compete with large enterprises, it is almost a lost cause to engage in a head-on fight, merely considering the gap in the equity capital perspective. Even if the rival player comes closer in scale, it is still far from desirable when the company sees itself getting caught in the middle of an enduring price war and getting worn off.

Therefore, it is not sensible to tread markets already under occupation without thinking it through. On the other hand, if efforts are made in actively acquiring effective IP rights to guard your own market, competitors will evacuate silently when becoming aware of the difficulty in trying to treading this land. This way, it can be realized for the company’s business to develop and profit without engaging in fights with competitors. In this sense, it is a worthwhile endeavor for any company to acquire suitable IP rights.

We are more than eager to assist you with your business startup and development. Should you have any questions or problems in relation with Intellectual Property, please feel free to contact us. We also travel to your door to provide our service if you have such requests.

We take pride in our professional experiences over 40 years and will spare no efforts to provide you with satisfactory quality services.

Intellectual Property (IP), in a general sense, refers to “any information that has value”.
When talking about IP, people usually think of patents and copyrights. However, all the technologies, ideas, designs, trade secrets and know-hows that were newly born in a business setting fall in the category as being valuable information.
Besides, logo marks and product names will acquire such commercial value as trade credits and brand images after long term usage.
The Intellectual Property system is established to identify such IP as mentioned above as the property of those men who have created them and will therefore enjoy legal protection within a period of time.

As is narrated in The Art of War by Sun Tzu, the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. When a company gets involved in competitions against rival companies within the same market, where everyone struggles to gain an upper hand, it is not uncommon for price competitions and excess services to make their appearances. Rather than jumping in the crowds and joining the fight, it seems wiser to create a new market - a niche market as it might be - by providing new products and services of a higher value, where the company leads well ahead with its competitive edge. Nonetheless, new markets can not be possibly created through IP alone. It is proper management over IP, taking the form of new technologies and services, which contributes to the competitive edge of your company opens up the market for you yet without taking you down to the battle field.
