Greeting
Since the foundation of Fukami Patent Office in 1969 by Patent Attorney Hisao Fukami (Of Counsel), who regretfully passed away just recently at the age of 94, for the past 50 years our office has been dedicated to fulfilling its mission of “serving as a one-stop office providing intellectual-property-related services in Osaka.” We highly appreciate the strong ongoing support by many domestic and foreign companies, universities and research institutes. Since our foundation, all members of our office have been making every effort to satisfy our clients’ requests promptly and reliably, in order to meet or exceed their expectations and achieve their satisfaction. We are continuing to perform our original mission as an IP firm, now with 91 patent attorneys and 275 members in total, addressing every issue and request in all technical and industrial fields.
We are currently witnessing a transition from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the rapid advancement of “AI,” “IoT” and big data, to the emerging era of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, which incorporates the principles of sustainability, human centricity, and resilience. Under such circumstances, intellectual property is becoming increasingly important, while the issues surrounding it continue to grow in both sophistication and complexity.
In response to these changes, our firm has strengthened its organization and capabilities to better serve the evolving needs of our clients. This includes the establishment of a cross- divisional AI/IoT-Related Intellectual Property Support Team, as well as the provision of timely information and consultation services relating to the latest developments in intellectual property. Through these efforts, we strive to deliver comprehensive support and advanced expertise in the ever-changing field of intellectual property.
The emergence of generative AI has brought about profound changes across society. In times of such rapid transformation, it is our sincere hope that, by building upon our longstanding experience and achievements while continuing to adapt to changing circumstances, we can further enhance the value we provide and remain a trusted partner for all those we serve.
