We help companies obtain intellectual property rights, including patent applications and trademark registrations.

Since most of the projects that we handle are related to research and technology development at companies and factories, we seek people that have specialized knowledge in the sciences with a master's or doctoral degree. Candidates with several years of experience at university laboratories or corporate R&D departments are preferred.

After joining us, new hires will come to understand and learn about our business through their work. We work remotely, so training and other activities are conducted using online tools such as chat messaging and ZOOM.

For language ability, we require English TOEIC 800 points or higher, Chinese and Korean native level, and Japanese N1 level. Speaking ability is not required, as the job mainly requires the ability to read emails and literature.

After joining our company, we encourage new hires to obtain Japanese patent attorney qualifications, as well as patent attorney qualifications in China, Korea, and Taiwan, etc. We subsidize the cost of obtaining qualifications up to 200,000 yen, and we fully compensate new hires when they succeed. We also subsidize half the cost of taking the "EIKEN" English proficiency test, TOEIC, and the Information Technology Engineers Examination. Depending on ability, an annual income of 10 million yen or more is possible.

Business Content

Our business fields can be broadly divided into three categories: (1) domestic patent applications for new technologies and research results developed by researchers at Japanese companies, (2) overseas patent applications for domestic (Japan) intellectual property, and (3) patent applications in Japan filed by overseas companies.

As experts in intellectual property law that protect our clients' rights, we undertake translations of patent documents and preliminary searches. In particular, our patent application and rights acquisition services for China, Korea, and Taiwan are among the best in Japan.

In recent years, due to the internationalization of business, the demand for patent acquisition overseas has been increasing year by year, and we would like to further focus on this field in the future. Many of our employees are from overseas. The work done by our highly specialized bilingual experts with overseas experience has earned us great trust from our customers.

On par with global companies, we also promote the use of IT. Some of our employees live overseas and achieve results while working completely remotely. This is a great opportunity for you to use your expertise in a friendly environment.
