First of all, we would like to express our heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and to all those involved.

As a preventative measure against infection by the new coronavirus (COVID -19), our firm has moved to remote working based on the state of emergency announced by the Prime Minister on April 7 and the guidance of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Our firm has been strictly checking employee’s health since the COVID-19 outbreak was confirmed, and all of our members, their families, and beloved have been safe and healthy.

Our remote working is conducted under a secured Internet environment and equipment under the guidance of external security consultants. We will continue to support e-mail communications as usual. But, the firm is operated by the smallest number of employees. Delivery of physical documents might delay.  For communication with the person in charge, we may ask you to hold a web conference using online tools. To all visitors, we shall ask to wear a mask and disinfect your hands.

We will continue to work to eliminate the risk of infection and ensure the safety of our employees and related parties, and to establish an environment in which we can continuously provide stable intellectual property services that customers can use with confidence.

Sincerely and stay home,

All ONM members
