Greeting
I Kita established a Shin-Nagoya Patent and Trademark Office in Nagoya with the aim of supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, venture companies, and sole proprietors in the field of intellectual property rights.
While large companies often have an intellectual property department, SMEs and venture companies often do not have an intellectual property department.
If you do not have an intellectual property department, the risk of disputes regarding intellectual property rights such as patent rights, trademark rights, and design rights will increase dramatically.
Therefore, we believe that we can avoid the risk of disputes regarding intellectual property rights by assuming the function of the intellectual property department of SMEs, venture companies, and sole proprietors.
Although Shin-Nagoya Patent Office is not a large-scale office, we believe that we can meet the needs of our customers in detail by responding flexibly and with a small turn because it is a private office.
At Shin-Nagoya Patent Office, we have realized reasonable fees, and in principle, we do not charge business trip fees or consultation fees for applications.
In addition, we will carefully explain the system and operation method related to intellectual property until the customer is satisfied.
For customers who have applied for the application at our office, consultation on intellectual property is free of charge in principle.
These are introduced in the features of Shin-Nagoya Patent Office, so we would appreciate it if you could take a look.
We will strive every day to become a patent office that customers can use comfortably.
We put the interests of our customers first, and we put ourselves close to our customers first.
Consultation is free.
Please feel free to contact us.

(2) The Shin-Nagoya Patent and Trademark Office will be in charge of a patent attorney with over 15 years of experience in IP business, and will perform careful and courteous work.

At Shin-Nagoya Patent Office, we will take enough time to work.
At a large patent office, customers of large companies may file multiple applications at the same time.
And, due to the delivery date, the time available for each project may be limited. Also, try to answer questions and questions politely.
In a patent application
For patent applications, no matter who prepares the specification, the same result will not be obtained.
Depending on the skill of the statement creator, it may or may not be a right, or it may or may not be a broad right.
Amendments to add new matters to the initial specification of the application are prohibited.

In trademark application
In trademark application, instead of mechanically filing a trademark application, we will set appropriate designated goods and designated services by conducting sufficient hearings from customers.
In recent years, there is a service that completes the application to the JPO simply by entering the trademark, designated goods / services, and applicant information.
Such services may not cover the designated products and services that the customer should acquire.
I wrote about this in a column, so I hope you can read it.

In the design registration application
In the design registration application, we will propose whether or not it is better to apply for a partial design.
When holding the shape as a right, the design registration application is cheaper than the patent application.
We will fully explain the difference between the design system and the patent system, and propose what kind of application should be filed.
③ Shin-Nagoya Patent Office will hold sufficient meetings
By having sufficient meetings, it will be possible to eliminate the deficiencies caused by lack of information transmission and to make proposals that the applicant had never thought of.
In the case of a patent application, by looking at the invention from a different angle, we will dig up the invention that the inventor has not noticed and make a proposal for a wide range of rights.
Shin-Nagoya Patent and Trademark Office supports visiting services
By visiting the applicant and having a meeting, the burden on the applicant will be reduced. Visits can be made after hours such as holidays, nights, and early mornings at your convenience.
Business trip fees are free for areas designated by our office.

Even if the result of the simple investigation is good, there is no guarantee that the right can be obtained, but if the simple investigation reveals that the right cannot be obtained, the right cannot be obtained. You can prevent a large application fee from being incurred for a certain case.
If you give up the right, please pay only the simple investigation fee.
On the other hand, if the result of the simple search is good and you apply for it, you will not be charged the simple search fee. In this case, the simple survey fee will be free.
