Kenichi KATAYAMA

Patent Attorney Partner

KenichiKATAYAMA

He worked in the chemical company where he spent 16 years working on the research and development of electronic materials. During that time, he carried out scientific research works as a visiting scientist at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and North Carolina State University in US. In July 1993, he has received his Ph D. from Osaka University.

After registered in 2000 as Japanese Patent Attorney he has been engaged not only domestic and foreign applications but also many disputes (appeals and litigation) at a patent firm and a law firm.

He also has research experience in competition law at the Graduate School of Business Sciences, University of Tsukuba (Doctoral degree, 2010).
