President’s Message on the 40th Anniversary

ishidaIt is a true pleasure to be able to announce that YKI, now YKI Intellectual Property Attorneys, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Of course, we owe this milestone to our valued clients and associates who have allowed us to serve them since 1978. You are all part of our history and, we hope, our future.

I am also grateful to the patent attorneys and other team members of this firm who together serve our clients. I have served as president of YKI since 2014, but do so on top of the shoulders of our founding partner and first president, Kenji Yoshida, who established YKI’s almost unique corporate culture of encouraging every team member to speak up freely. I am proud that YKI maintains, even today as a larger firm, this atmosphere, and in turn encourages each member to continue their education and skill building through outside education and internal study. We think we are good, but we want to get better.

The intellectual property environment continues to evolve, and seems to do so ever more rapidly. In this environment, YKI continues its challenge of remaining above all a reliable provider of intellectual property legal services for our clients. Our 40-year record proves that being a responsible member of society and creating a positive environment for our team is the means to this end.

YKI Intellectual Property Attorneys: A respected name, a proud history, and an exciting future.

Jun ISHIDA
President
