Our firm was founded as "Niimi Patent Agency" in 1922 as the first intellectual property law firm in Kyoto, Japan.  In 1996, the firm changed its name to "Minori Patent Agency" and was reorganized into "MINORI Patent Profession Corporation" on April 1, 2006.

Since 1922, we have been providing our clients with professional services in intellectual property such as patents, utility models, designs, trademarks and other IP-related matters. With the long history and experience, we have deepened the reliable relationship with not only our Japanese but also our overseas clients. 

While respecting our firm's history, our firm is continuously innovated by young attorneys learned in the latest technologies.
