저희 사무소는 기업, 연구기관 등과 같은 기관이 지적재산권을 최대한 활용할 수 있도록, 권리의 취득 및 관리부터 분쟁처리에 이르기까지 전과정을 세세하고 꼼꼼하게 돕는 것은 물론이며, 국내외의 움직임에 민감하게 반응하여, 여러분의 기대에 반드시 부응하는 서비스를 제공하는 것을 사명으로 삼고 있습니다. 그러므로, 특허와 관련한 각종 수속(특허, 실용신안, 의장, 상표 등과 관련한 출원, 심사, 심판 등)의 대리 업무와 재판과 관련한 각종 소송대리인 및 보좌인으로서의 업무를 비롯한 저작권, 라이센스 등을 포함한 지적재산과 연관된 전분야에 대한 각종 상담업무, 감정업무 등을 통하여 지적재산과 관련된 모든 문제 해결에 적극적으로 임하고 있습니다.

 
 

저희 사무소는 창립한지 27년이 된 비교적 젊은 특허 사무소이지만, 전신인 미나미타카오 특허사무소를 포함하면 50여 년의 역사와 노하우를 축적하고 있는 사무소입니다. 현재는 10명의 변리사를 중심으로, 총 40명(비상근 직원을 포함)의 구성원이 있는 중견규모의 특허사무소입니다. 특허 사무소는 의뢰인과의 깊이 있는 커뮤니케이션에 근거한 관계구축과 기동력이 있어야 비로소 효율적으로 그 기능을 할 수 있다고 생각합니다. 저희 구즈와 국제특허사무소는, 사무소의 규모나 구성원진의 능력 등 모든 면에서 이러한 자질을 갖춘 사무소라 자부합니다.

기술면에서는, 각 분야에 대한 여러분의 기대에 부응할 수 있도록, 앞서 말한 바와 같이 10명의 변리사와 19명의 우수한 기술 구성원들이 모든 기술 분야에 대해서 대응할 수 있도록 체계를 가다듬었습니다. 이와 동시에, 사무소 내의 스터디 그룹 등을 통하여 항상 첨단기술이나 법률적인 부분에서의 최신 정보의 수집에도 힘쓰며,지적재산권 전략, 지재재산권 보호의 본연의 자세에 대해서 사무소로서의 검토도 적극적으로 추진하고 있습니다. 또한, 각종 사무수속에 있어서는, 숙련된 법률전문구성원과 사무구성원이 신속하고 정확하게 업무를 수행하고 있습니다. 한편, 충실한 해외업무도 역시 풍부한 경험을 가지고 있는 저희 구즈와 국제특허사무소가 자랑하는 강점 중 하나입니다. 수많은 외국기업을 고객으로 하고 있는 저희 사무소가 지금까지 구축해온 경험과 어학능력을 살린 각국의 제휴 특허사무소와의 공동작업을 통하여 저희 사무소의 해외업무는 대단히 활발한 전개를 하기에 이르렀습니다.
