2. Deep experience and extensive technical knowledge
Prior to being a patent attorney, Mr. Katsunuma was engaged in plant engineering work for 10 years. As plant engineering involves a wide range of technologies such as mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, control, computer technology, etc. he obtained extensive knowledge of technologies in general.
After experiencing the plant engineering work, he became a patent attorney and worked in the IP field for nearly 30 years. During this long time of period, he has prosecuted various kinds of works as a patent attorney, such as drafting patent applications, filing appeals against the refusal decision of the Examiners, filing invalidity trials. In addition, he is qualified as a patent attorney who can represent his client in infringing law suit cases.
３．Broad connection with foreign agent
Mr. Katsunuma has filed many patent application abroad. He has a wide network of foreign patent attorneys through APAA (Asia Patent Attorneys Association) and his long term networking. It will surely assist the domestic clients who are developing their business in the world. With free communication skills in English and Chinese, he has assisted the foreign clients to file many patent applications in Japan. Good communication is essential to understand the inventions and the intention of the clients.
4. Create Japanese translation at the same time as English statement
We are proposing applications for foreign applications for clients, who are developing overseas or planning to expand overseas business in the future.
For overseas applications of patents, those worthy of specifications prepared in foreign languages (English) are required. At our place, by doing English translation at the same time as preparing Japanese specifications, we will create an English translation that makes maximum use of Japanese nuance without misunderstanding in Japanese → English.
In addition, it saves time and expense as it saves the labor of delegating to the translator.
