Patent Search & Analysis

Japan Patent Intelligence for Real Business Decisions

Practical patent intelligence for market entry, product launch, freedom-to-operate, and competitive analysis in Japan.

We provide Japan-focused patent search and analysis services for overseas companies, law firms, and IP teams.
Our services support practical business and IP decision-making, including prior art searches, invalidity searches, FTO-related reviews, patent landscape analysis, competitor monitoring, and IP due diligence.

Our representative previously worked for five years in the patent search team of the IP department of a major computer manufacturer, mainly handling U.S. and Chinese patent search and analysis.
We also work with experienced patent search professionals with more than 20 years of experience.

For overseas projects, we leverage not only our network of local patent search partners but also our business connections with local companies.
This allows us to provide analysis that is better grounded in local market realities and practical business needs.

Why Work With Us

We do not simply collect documents. We organize and analyze information so that it can be used for business and IP decisions.

We handle Japan-focused work as well as projects involving the U.S., China, and other jurisdictions.

We work with local patent search partners and maintain connections with local companies, enabling more market-aware analysis.

We review not only technical content but also claim scope and patent positioning from a practical perspective.
