We are pleased to announce that our colleague Mr. Kohei Yodoya will be attending the BIO 2017 annual meeting in San Diego from June 19 to 22.

Mr. Yodoya will be available for meetings throughout the week to discuss aspects of Japanese patent practice, such as how to extend the patent protection of pharmaceutical or chemical products for as long as possible. Please contact him if you plan to attend BIO 2017, and are interested in a brief get-together.
