About Kaji, Suhara & Associates

The globalised economy also increases the importance of acquiring and utilising intellectual property rights both inside and outside the country where businesses are headquartered.
Kaji, Suhara and Associates is a comprehensive intellectual property law firm dedicated to providing our clients, both within Japan and overseas, with top-class IP related services ever since our establishment in 1988.
Our Policy for Sustainability
For achieving a better and sustainable society, we are actively pursuing diversity and flexible work styles through various supports for women empowerment and remote working.
We will fulfill our social responsibilities together with our customers and business partners.
Our Commitment
01. Substantial interview with inventors
An interview is one of the most effective ways of accurately and efficiently understanding the intention of an inventor. We interview inventors not only to understand their thinking, but also to help them turn what they have created into what can be legally recognized as ‘an invention’.
Our professionals also provide practical and strategic advice regarding IP applications, based on the needs of each client.
02. Training of staff members
Our firm also holds regular in-house workshops, run by case law study groups or by attorneys visiting from our overseas associates, to keep our staff members updated on the latest developments in IP law.
03. Support for Small and medium-sized companies
This, however, is not the case for many small and medium-sized companies. Due to a lack of IP personnel, valuable inventions made by small and medium-sized companies may be left unprotected.
Our professionals are well aware of the needs of companies in this situation and provide comprehensive support through the entire procedure of rights protection from finding through to utilization
