A message from the Representative Director
Since our establishment in 1994, Sakai International Patent Office has provided support for our clients' IP operations under the philosophy of putting the client first. In recent years, the IP industry environment has changed and corporate IP operations have shifted significantly, moving from the traditional focus on patent application and prosecution to a strategic patent business. The role expected of a patent office is changing as well.
Offering a wide range of diversified services intended to adapt to these changes, we support clients in all aspects of their IP operations, covering not only strategic patent application and prosecution but also IP training by our expert staff, anti-counterfeiting, and copyright handling.
We hope you will rely on us to help your IP department become a driving force for your business.
We will always do the utmost to meet your expectations and earn your trust.
Jun Takamura, Patent Attorney
Representative Director, Sakai International Patent Office
