IP Licensing & Litigation
Working with you to secure the maximum protection and benefit from your valuable IP assets. If you wish to defend or commercialize your IP in Japan or abroad, we’d be happy to assist.
Licensing
Licensing is essentially an agreement between the owner of IP rights and another entity that wants to use those rights. Licensing helps the IP owner to enter new markets without the risk, time and expense of doing so alone.
Our team of Japanese and Western IP professionals offers you:
- Considered advice in your communication with Japanese business partners.
- Full support whether licensing your own IP or negotiating for third-party assets.
- Assistance in maintaining and defending your rights over the full spectrum of international IP licensing.
- Licensing strategy for patents, trademarks, designs and copyrights.
We work with our foreign clients throughout the licensing process in Japan to ensure peace of mind and satisfactory outcomes for all. Our individually tailored licensing services include drafting, potential partnering searches, negotiations, counselling, due diligence matters, and translation and localization strategies to fit Japanese practices.
Some of our recent licensing work has followed the rapid spread of the IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, which has brought about major changes in licensing negotiations for certain types of patents serving as an industry standard. If you have cutting-edge IP assets you’d like to commercialize in Japan, we’d be happy to discuss the opportunities with you.
