Introduction of President:

Iwao Nishikawa worked at one of prestigious patent firms about 4 years on foreign trademark matters for Japanese corporations, after which he joined another law and patent firm where he, for a period of 11 years, successfully handled many trademark matters, e.g., applications, arguments, trials, and opposition proceedings, for major US companies, in the industry and world of motion picture, cigarette, apparel, finance, electric, electronic, tire, and so on.
