A message from the CEO
While companies in the U.S. and Europe frequently file patents across borders, Japan sees a remarkably low number of inbound filings—primarily due to high costs associated with patent filing in Japan. Reducing these costs facilitates IP protection in Japan and supports global business expansion. Use of AI translation to cut costs, however, undermines quality control as the technology often invites an over-reliance that leads to oversight of translation errors.
Our solution to this challenge is "Human-led Quality Control," a concept long valued in Japan. Quality cannot be improved merely by listing common AI errors or updating checklists. True quality comes from human feedback that conveys the significance of the work and recognition for individual contributions, which breathes life into the organization and its creations.
By combining the latest technology with long-standing tradition, we empower the global expansion of enterprises.
CEO
Rieko Sugiyama
