Intellectual Property Transactions

We support our clients with their licensing and technology transfer agreements, as well as all other intellectual property transfer and licensing transactions. This includes Japanese and cross-border deals, formulation of strategies, and drafting and reviewing agreements. Our services cover all types of intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks and know-how, across diverse business sectors such as healthcare, technology, entertainment, sports, systems and software, and brands.

We provide tailored advice on negotiating and drafting contracts for collaborative R&D and contract development involving multiple parties. Our guidance considers the interests of all parties involved, whether between large companies, between large companies and start-ups, or between universities and companies.

Beyond the above, we offer cross-disciplinary advice on commercial transactions closely involving intellectual property rights. This includes franchise and general agency agreements, corporate M&A, investments where intellectual property is crucial, and trusts and securitizations for raising funds using intellectual property rights. Our team utilizes a broad knowledge base in both intellectual property law and related practice areas to provide our clients with comprehensive support.
