09. Recharging
The year 2024 was a recharging period for our firm before further development. We received the highest number of office actions from the Japan Patent Office and dedicated ourselves to responding to each action. As a result, we had to control the work of new clients who heard about us from existing clients, while we are still ranked in the Top 100 among 5000+ Japanese IP firms based on PCT national phase entries into Japan. We also actively supported and trained young researchers and conducted several endowed courses at universities.
