Comment
In recent years, it has become indispensable to utilize intellectual property rights in order to grow a company. While many companies have possessed intellectual property rights and have been able to proceed with their business in an advantageous manner, there are still many companies that have not been able to effectively utilize their intellectual property rights. Especially in rural areas where there are many small and medium-sized enterprises like the ones I am involved with, the number of patent firms is small, and I believe that it is difficult to casually seek intellectual property consultations.
I am committed to supporting the resolution of various IP-related problems and issues faced by companies, and work closely with each company to ensure that their daily efforts bear fruit.
