Shinjyu Global IP is one of the most international IP boutique firms in Japan, with around 25 Japanese patent attorneys, as well as patent attorneys from the United States, China and Korea. For more than 25 years, the firm has been assisting clients with respect to all aspects of intellectual property rights, in all fields of technologies.

Shinjyu’s professional staff understands the differences between various jurisdictions. With such knowledge, the firm understands and even foresees the challenges a non-Japanese client may face when entering Japan. The firm can therefore customize its services, depending on client’s needs, and offer effective and appropriate advice to its non-Japanese clients.

To guarantee transparency in services and better client relationships, each client will be assigned to a dedicated patent attorney (or a dedicated team of several patent attorneys), who then will be responsible for all of the client’s needs, from new filing to appeal to invalidation opinions.
