Hello, I’m Yoshi.
Today, I want to talk about the multi country IP protections.
Our most important service is to support for the multi country IP protections.
The reason why we open FIVE (5) branches in the world and hire several IP attorneys in the FIVE (5) locations, are because we are able to establish the multi country IP filing system.
Business model had been changed and changed.
In the past decade, our client's business model had been changed a lot.
Their business supply chains were spread to the world and their sales marketplaces are global.
Allocation of production volumes among multiple manufacturing sites and distribution of products involves many quantitative and qualitative variables and constraints.
An integrated multi-product, multi-period, multi-site production, multi-site-distribution are now basic strategy in the global business.
In these circumstances, our clients really need multi-country IP protections.
If their competitor takes an IP action in one of our client's multi-site production or distribution country, our client's global business would be stop suddenly.
Risky in business supply chains
The business supply chains is very important channel but risky as well.
Their IP risks are now increased a lot in the global business fields.
