Greeting
 "Intellectual
property rights" have become one of the necessary elements for sustainable
development of economy, society, and culture. Therefore, these have been given
the essential position for management strategy of each business enterprise as
well as global economy and industry. With these backgrounds, it has been increasingly
necessary to protect and make the best use of the intellectual property rights
effectually worldwide as well as to create these rights affluently.
We,"Towa International Patent Firm", have been engaged in speedy and
appropriate protection of intellectual properties for more than thirty years,
namely since the first president, Joichi Sukegawa, established our firm in 1969.
We recognize that the role of our firm has become more and more essential as intellectual
property rights concerns have been complicated and important. Consequently, we
would like to contribute to you with much more enlightenment and constant endeavour.
We would look to you for your continued guidance and encouragement for future.
