About us
Greetings
Samoto International Patent Law Firm, P.C. embarked on a new start in December 2025 by succeeding all the business operations of Yoshikawa International Patent Office, established in 1988.
Intellectual property covers a wide range of assets, including technology, design, and trademarks, and leads us to a brighter future.
We believe that the mission of patent attorneys is to provide clients with appropriate support from a professional perspective in all aspects of intellectual property, including the creation, acquisition, maintenance, and enforcement of rights for patents, utility models, designs, and trademarks.
Moreover, for the proper protection of intellectual property, it is necessary to decide what rights to obtain, in which countries to seek or whether to keep certain information confidential as a trade secret depending on the company size or the circumstances of a company or an individual, as well as the intended purpose.
Based on our professional expertise and through our international network, we remain committed to providing appropriate support to our clients.
Our firm originally specialized in consulting for the management of intellectual property, and we believe that we will be able to advise on how to utilize intellectual property in their business or how to manage it effectively.
With the aim of maximizing our clients’ interests, we will make every effort to provide appropriate services for the needs of our clients.
High Quality Service for a Reasonable Price

Acquiring an intellectual property right overseas will provide an advantage in guiding your corporate competition in an international society.
At our office, we are here to support the overseas applications of our clients for a low price through the utilization of our broad network covering the United States, Europe, and various countries in Asia.
Additionally, even with translation fees that becomes necessary in an overseas application of a patent or utility model, our exclusive technical translation staff adept in technologies and languages will provide accurate translations for a low price.
The Story behind Our Logo
Owls, said to be the attendants of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and skills, are also known as the symbol for academics, liberal arts, wisdom, and sages.
With the ability to see in darkness along with exceptional hearing, owls are also known as “forest sages” and “forest watchmen” that do not overlook small items or miss information, and have bright prospects.
In association with the owl likened to such symbol, to serve as a “watchman of intellectual property” in protecting the intellectual property of our clients, Samoto International Patent Law Firm, P.C., while incorporating the motif of an owl in the logo, will continue efforts with duties every day.
