Like you, we continue to be concerned about the COVID-19 outbreak. The Japan Patent Office continues to be open and has not extended deadlines. We are regularly monitoring the situation and assessing the best way for our team to avoid exposure and continue to be available for you and your team.
Currently, our Tokyo Office is in operation, though many staff are working remotely. Our Philadelphia office, responding to Philadelphia’s request to close non-essential business, is in operation remotely. However, we are still able to receive calls to our office and handle IP matters with security. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach our Philadelphia staff using our regular lines of communication.
