Reliable Experience

Since its founding in 1978, patents have always been at the core of this firm' s business.

In fact, the firm of YKI Patent Attorneys now brings several hundred man-years of experience to the task of obtaining patents for our clients.

YKI Patent Attorneys will never accept a task unless our people have sufficient experience to grasp the technology and obtain an appropriate patent. YKI has conservatively added new technology practice areas and is today recognized as a strong firm in each of the following areas:

Electrotechnology/ Electronics
Mechatronics
Medical Electronics
Devices
Communications Systems
Software
Material and Chemical
Automotive and Vehicular Technology
Nucleonics.

Cost-effective, Appropriate Efforts

As all of our patent attorneys and technical staff have experience in industry, usually related to the technical area they represent, we fully understand that our clients are looking for reliable, cost-effective service, and we focus our efforts accordingly. We do our best to safely yet aggressively prosecute your patent applications, while keeping an eye on costs. We provide accurate estimates and a clear fee schedule so that you can understand and compare all costs in advance, and do not hesitate to make suggestions for reducing your costs.

Our growing list of satisfied customers gives us reason to believe that we are on the right track.

Clear Communication

Few things are more frustrating than an overseas agent who is silent, slow to respond, or sends you letters that make no sense. This is especially dangerous in patent prosecution because actions and decisions which must be made today can permanently affect the value of resulting patents, even though the consequences usually do not appear for months or years.

YKI Patent Attorneys goes to great lengths to keep our overseas clients and associates informed and to always provide clear, appropriate answers to your questions. We maintain an in-house translation team of experienced translators, as well as a dedicated team of bilingual assistants whose only job is to oversee the prosecution of patent applications entrusted to us by our clients and associates overseas.

When YKI is prosecuting your patent applications, you will never be kept in the dark. If you have doubts, please e-mail us now, and judge us by the response you receive.

YKI, after all and before all, Patent Attorneys.
