Oshima & Partners was established in 1983.
Since its establishment, the firm has represented many of Japan’s leading companies with regard to intellectual property matters and has provided services to companies and patent firms internationally.
We are constantly exposed to the latest technologies in a variety of technical fields and have accumulated knowledge in a wide range of technical fields. We are working hard to draft specifications to meet the needs of clients in every technical field.
Our staff members have various technical backgrounds and are able to meet the needs of our clients. It is our belief that we have to have adequate technical knowledge to properly represent our clients in intellectual property matters. It is also important to communicate with our clients to better represent our clients.
We are one of a small number of Japanese patent firms which provide services to both domestic and foreign clients in a well-balanced manner. This is desirable not only for our business viewpoint but also for our ability to serve our clients from a broader perspective.
