Why Work With Me

Many patent matters require either life-science expertise or software expertise. AI-driven biotechnology demands both at once — together with a clear understanding of the business behind the invention.

  • Dual technical depth. Deep expertise in biotechnology and AI/software-related inventions, so complex subject matter is captured accurately and broadly.
  • Business-minded prosecution. As a licensed SME management consultant (Chusho Kigyo Shindanshi), I build portfolios that create competitive advantage, not just paperwork.
  • Up to date with examination practice. Closely following fast-moving JPO and international standards for AI-related inventions.
  • Direct English communication. You correspond with the attorney handling your case — clearly and without intermediaries.

Let’s Talk About Your Invention

The patenting of inventions at the frontier of AI and biotechnology calls for specialized expertise. Tell me about your R&D — your first consultation is free.
