It is very important to integrate business strategy with Intellectual Property (IP) strategy and technology development strategy, which brings to increase and enhance business efficiency and business value.

We build business strategy on the basis of analysis in all IP aspects, preparing and using patent maps on the core of patents and technology.

The feature of our patent map is to analyze patents in USA, EU, Japan and South Korea. It is at the time of globalization and borderless business chances, so we cannot say trustworthy patent maps if such patent maps are made for sole country like Japan only. So to say, it is very important for business companies to develop strategic business of the world level and to build IP strategy viewing business expansion to the world.

Our patent maps are made based on both commercial and official online databases.

And upon analysis of patent maps and portfolios, we propose product development strategy and technology development strategy utilizing strength of the company.

We can provide business consulting more specific and continuous for actual product development, with our alliance partner which is a Japan-based hands-on/practical and well-reputated consulting company.
