Q : Is the initial consultation really free?

Yes, the initial consultation is free for up to 60 minutes. We welcome even casual inquiries at the stage where you’re wondering, “Can I get this protected?”

Q How do I schedule a consultation?

Please contact us using your preferred method—by phone (+81-6-7777-1884), email (contact@evorix.jp), the contact form, LINE, ChatWork, or any other method. We’ll work with you to schedule a time.

Q : Are there any materials I need to bring to the consultation?

To help us accurately understand your invention or technical details, it would be helpful if you could bring drawings, photos, samples, and related technical documents. However, even if your materials aren’t fully prepared yet, please feel free to consult with us anyway.

Q : Can I have an online consultation?

Yes, we can hold consultations from anywhere in Japan using the tool of your choice, such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, ChatWork, LINE, Slack, or Discord.
