Over 90% of Japanese patent applications are initially rejected by the JPO
However, Kimura’s IP Registration Success Rate is exceptionally high. IP Rights Acquisition and Dispute Resolution in Japan is different from elsewhere in the world. We know Japan’s unique IP Environment and how the JPO (Japan Patent Office) works.
SME’s may have difficulty finding legal/IP professionals willing to fight for them. We’re an IP firm focussed on SME’s: small, but effective. You can count on Kimura to fight for you.
With Kimura, their approach was to think about the patent application’s content together with us and then create it. At first, we described the invention broadly, then Kimura flushed out the details with us and crafted the patent to fit into Patent law to get maximum protection. This way was beneficial, and it took less time than expected. From the start, and at every step, Kimura responded promptly. They had a strong will to file our patent quickly and under the ‘first to file’ principle.

Our motto is ‘Objections from our customers about our products are treasures to make those better.’ It’s a critical opportunity to preserve the value of our company. We have made many difficult and complicated requests for Kimura. Kimura also considers itself as our fighting comrade in business, and they have helped us win battles in IP acquisition and dispute cases.
