SOEI USA is the US office of Soei Patent & Law Firm, one of the largest IP law firms in Japan. Since Soei was established in 1988, it has grown steadily and opened its US office in Silicon Valley, California in 2005 to support corporations, law firms and other clients especially in North and South America.
The
importance of IP protection in Japan is growing because the Japanese government
is actively working to enhance the quality of the IP protection provided
in Japan. Consequently, many corporations are not only acquiring IP but also
increasingly seeking to enforce their IP rights. However, many non-Japanese
applicants have encountered great difficulties due to differences in language,
IP laws and time zones. We opened our US office to resolve these difficulties
and improve communication.
We also have the advantage of being able to provide our clients in the Western Hemisphere with the same-day services to decrease inconveniences caused by time difference. The team of IP Members in SOEI USA supports our clients with the assistance of over 50 IP attorneys in our Tokyo Office.
