Patent attorneys Yuki Jono and Jun Aoyama launched Aoyama Jono Patent & Law Firm in Tokyo, positioning it as Japan's only law firm dedicated to AI-related patent prosecution, monetization, and corporate/regulatory advisory. About 80% of its six-person founding team are former patent examiners, citing a domestic shortage of AI-patent expertise.
""Japan currently has very few lawyers and patent attorneys equipped to handle sophisticated AI-related patent prosecution... we founded the firm precisely to meet that need." — Yuki Jono, Managing Partner, Aoyama Jono Patent & Law Firm"
