Introduction to our practice in patents

For filing patents

Inventions are a valuable form of intellectual property; they are attained through the inventor’s originality and ingenuity, discovery, or serendipity. To make the most of an invention, the first action you should take is to apply for a patent so that you can obtain exclusive rights to it.
Patent professionals may take various approaches depending on the firm that they belong to. At Naruse & Shimizu, we start by working to understand your requirements and current situation; we then consider the best measures to take for protecting your intellectual property. We value your perspective as we work together with you. We will always stay by your side as we collaborate to achieve your goals.
Since our establishment, Naruse & Shimizu has worked with a wide range of clients both large and small. In particular, our current director has experience in supporting IP creation at universities in addition to undertaking work with large companies. He values what university-backed ventures, small-scale businesses, and individuals have to say, and he treats inventions with respect as he supports clients.
Naruse & Shimizu has extensive experience in patent applications from foreign countries (including PCT national phase applications), so we are happy to propose strategies to suit your requirements and business plans.
