“HOKUSETSU” means the name of northern part of “SETTSU” area, where there were a lot of bamboo forest before EXPO 70’ was held in OSAKA, 1970. we have established the HOKUSETSU INTERNATIONAL PATENT OFFICE , in order to provide special IP-services, as steady as a root of bamboo, and as flexibly as a pliant bamboo.

　We are always working under conscious of “Natural”,” Exceed”, and “Surprise”.

　At first, we always do a matter of course for granted. It’s an unspectacular but key philosophy. We are always expected correct and assured practices, for example, selection of procedure, procedures to the JPO, management for time-limit, and so on. We always provide you with safe and secure, based on our prides of specialist for IP-service provider.

　Next, we always provide better services than expected. We are each given a certain latitude in providing services to every client, in order to create a culture of actively providing services which each member decides that it’s a good service for our clients. We always seek for the reason not why we cannot do but how we can do.

　Finally, we try to provide “surprises” to both you and ourselves. Our members are expected to be aware that our office is a place where we should attain self-realization. We hope to find “new ourselves” beyond old selves, even only by one step, half step, or half size of nail on our fingers. A difficult task is sometimes given to our members. However, a new “surprise” will be derived when such task is completed, which we hope to share with.

　Also, we are sure that we could give our clients real “surprises” only by experiencing our own “surprises”. The real customer service is invisible but comfortable to the customers. We always pursue such real customer service, and make effort to respond to the expectations of customers.
