Litigation

In recent years, there have been an increasing amount of litigation related to intellectual property rights worldwide. In Japan, increasingly higher monetary compensations for damages are being requested and approved in recent litigations related to intellectual property matters such as patents, trademarks, unfair competition, and copyrights. Under these emerging circumstances, litigation strategies and tactics are extremely important.

Based on its experiences and accomplishments over thirty years in the field of intellectual property rights, YKI has become extremely adept in matters related to licensing and litigation. In the event of a dispute, YKI provides professional services in view of potential licensing negotiations to provide patentability evaluations, infringement opinions, evidence searches, advice for changing technical design, and strategy proposals.

As necessary, we form a team with Japanese or overseas attorneys-at-law to settle cases by means of cooperation and appropriate task sharing among multiple specialists.
