We perform our duties while embracing the 5 mottos at all times, as well as the notion of “PAT.* AI”derived from picking up the first letters in the 5 mottos, that is,“Love for Patent” (since “AI” means “Love” (愛) in Japanese).
* Please note that “PAT” mentioned herein means “patent” in a broad sense, namely intellectual property right as a whole including trademark right, design right and the like.
