Through Keisen Associates'
Philadelphia Liaison Office, we offer our foreign clients a broad range of Japanese and international
legal support in the areas of patent, design, and trademark law.
Our services include drafting and translating
Japanese specifications, conducting patentability, and infringement searches, assisting
in preparing opinions, and litigations. In addition, we manage
our client's IP portfolio as a patent and trademark
administrator, as well as provide foreign
companies legal business consultation and technology transfer support in Japan.
Keisen's mission is to
guide and assist our clients through the often complex process of acquiring IP
protection in Japan. We aim to
do so by removing language, cultural and time zone barriers
that often get in the way of foreign applicant's successful
prosecution or litigation of their innovation. Keisen is in a unique
position to do as we are one of the few Japanese IP firms
who has an office in America. Our team of highly skilled attorneys, patent
agents, and technical advisors will work closely with our clients to provide a
tailored service
that best meets the individual's IP strategies and needs.

Our foreign
clients can choose to file a
Japanese trademark or patent application through our
Philadelphia office. From Japanese national stage filling to
the granting of IP rights, we
will promptly process your instructions and inquiries. Our Philadelphia office works in conjunction with our
Tokyo and Osaka offices for a timely turn-around for even
the most urgent cases. Before you abandon your application,
please contact our Philadelphia office to see how we can
assist you.
Another area of expertise is our technical translation of
specifications and other legal documents. If you currently have another Japanese patent agency working
on your application, you might be experiencing problems of
inconsistencies in terminology. Keisen's lawyers, along with
their staff, are knowledgeable in both Japanese patent law
as well as a broad range of disciplines in the field of
technology and science. They can help
standardize the language for a more expedient prosecution
process |
At Keisen, we
provide expert search services in intellectual
property-related matters. Our in-house researchers utilize
online databases from industry and media, as well as
journals and other technical publications, to provide prior
art, market clearance, legal status searches, among others.
We also investigate the archives of the
Japan Patent Office to provide legal status information on registered, expired, or pending
patents and trademarks. In addition to the above, we also
offer trademark watches and other legal search services.
The appearance of your
design sets it apart from the rest and creates value that
needs to be protected. Our Philadelphia and Japanese offices will
work together to carry out
identical or similar design searches and prepare
and prosecute every aspect of protecting your design
portfolio. |

As one of a
handful of native
Japanese IP affiliates in the U.S., the lawyers in our
Philadelphia office are in a unique position to provide
in-person assistance to our clients on the complex
and intricate rules and regulations of Japanese
intellectual property law. Our
professionals also stay abreast of new trends and regulations that

Keisen provides
a broad range of Japanese litigation and language support to
law firms and legal professionals in the U.S. We believe
that a successful multicultural litigation strategy
involves, not only obtaining a word-for-word translation of
evidence, but also the evaluation of evidence under
the proper cultural context. Our highly qualified bilingual
professionals can assist your firm to bridge the cultural gap
and generate a successful outcome. Our team of legal
professionals includes Japanese patent attorneys, Japanese
attorneys at law, and U.S. patent agents with Ph.D. We
provide support in patent and intellectual property
litigations, contract disputes, as well as discovery, and
depositions. Our language support includes reviewing
Japanese document production, translation of English and
Japanese documents, arbitration support,
expert witness in
Japanese law, and expert witness referrals. We have clients
in the mid-Atlantic region, New York, Maryland, and
Washington D.C. areas. |

Litigation in Japan |
|
|
|
At Keisen, we are experienced in enforcing
intellectual property rights by means of litigation in all
major areas of intellectual property law. In particular, our
lawyers are experienced in international patent litigation,
and have the knowledge to support our foreign clients if
such law suits should ensue.
When representing non-Japanese clients, it is paramount for
attorneys to be skilled communicators . An accurate
conveyance of the client's concerns to the courts requires
legal expertise as well as a thorough understanding of the
cultural differences that exist. Our professionals have the experience and the know-how on
both accounts. Our services include patent infringement,
opposition, and invalidity trials, among others.
