Dear Colleagues,

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your kind thoughts concerning the aftermath of Typhoon Jebi. Although there was a significant amount of damage in the area surrounding the Osaka office following the typhoon’s landing, the employees in our Osaka and Tokyo offices are all safe, and neither office sustained damage.

As the Japan Patent Office is also operating normally, we foresee no delays or problems hindering our normal business activities.

Thank you again for your kind concern.

Sincerely yours,

SAEGUSA & PARTNERS
