One-Stop Solution for All Your IT Intellectual Property Needs

From Software, AI, and SaaS Patents to Trademarks and Copyrights

Our patent attorneys, who specialize in the IT sector
—from software, AI, and SaaS patents to trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets—will provide comprehensive protection for your business.

Why Do IT Companies Need an "IP Strategy" Now?

With the advent of cloud computing, AI, and mobile technology, the competitive landscape for IT companies is changing at an unprecedented pace. Excellent ideas and algorithms are analyzed by competitors the moment they are released, exposing them to the risk of being imitated. An intellectual property strategy is no longer the exclusive domain of large corporations; it is essential infrastructure for IT companies to achieve sustainable business growth.

Do you have any of these concerns?

✔ You want to legally protect your ideas and algorithms before they are copied
✔ You want to establish a competitive advantage through “strong intellectual property rights”
✔ You want intellectual property that serves as a “weapon” in negotiations with investors and large corporations
✔ You’re unsure how to protect new services that use AI
✔ You’re concerned about the legal risks of using OSS (open source software)
✔ I want to know if software is even patentable

EVORIX provides a one-stop service that comprehensively covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets to address the unique IP needs of IT companies.

🤖 2. AI Drafting × Patent Attorney Review [NEW]

Patent attorneys specializing in IT patents will rewrite patent specification drafts created by ChatGPT into “strong patent documents that protect your business.” Compared to starting from scratch, this service saves you time and money while ensuring professionals handle everything from claim drafting—which AI often overlooks—to strategies for overcoming rejection grounds and optimizing the scope of protection.

🏷️ 3. Trademark Registration for Software & SaaS

We protect your service names, logos, icons, and taglines as trademarks. Since SaaS often spans multiple product and service classes, strategic class selection is crucial. From domestic applications to international applications (Madrid Protocol), we support trademark strategies designed for the global expansion of IT services.

📝 4. Copyright and OSS Licensing Support

We provide comprehensive support for copyright issues in software development, including copyright protection for source code, UI, and content, as well as license compliance when using OSS (Open Source Software) (GPL, MIT, Apache, etc.), risk assessment for incorporating OSS into your own products, and assistance with license audits.

🔐 5. Trade Secrets and Know-How Management

Algorithms, customer data, and internal know-how that are difficult to patent can be protected as “trade secrets” under the Unfair Competition Prevention Act. We provide practical advice on building internal systems to meet the three requirements for trade secrets (secrecy, utility, and non-public nature), as well as on establishing employment rules and NDAs, and implementing measures for departing employees.

⚖️ 6. Intellectual Property Disputes and Infringement Response

Whether you’ve received a cease-and-desist letter from another company, your own patent is being infringed, or a competitor has launched an almost identical service—we provide swift and strategic responses in every scenario involving intellectual property disputes. We offer comprehensive support through the entire dispute resolution process, including injunctive relief, claims for damages, and licensing negotiations.

All of our patent attorneys have backgrounds in science and engineering and constantly monitor the latest IT technology trends, including AI, IoT, blockchain, and SaaS. We communicate smoothly with engineers using a common language and accurately secure rights for the essence of your inventions. There is no risk of mismatches, such as “asking a patent attorney specializing in chemistry to handle an electrical invention.”

② Rapid Response — Supporting a “First-to-File” Strategy

The patent system is fundamentally a “first-to-file” system. The key to protecting new ideas is to file quickly before competitors get ahead of you. Our firm handles everything from initial consultations to drafting specifications and electronic filing with the Japan Patent Office with speed and efficiency. Our top priority is to secure patent protection before competitors can beat you to it.

We can also travel to any location nationwide as needed.

④ Comprehensive IP Strategy — Partnering with You as Your “External IP Department”

We go beyond one-off application services to design a “mixed IP strategy” that combines patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. We propose “when, what, and how to protect” based on your business phase. We act as your external IP department, supporting you so that even companies without dedicated IP staff can confidently develop their IP strategies.
