About IP StrategistOur Profile
A unique management consultant with a wide range of practical knowledge, from technology-based legal affairs and intellectual property to various manufacturing and corporate management.
Leveraging our global experience and knowledge, we are supporting various companies both domestically and internationally.
Founder and representative member Osamu Hikita established the management consulting group "IP Strategist" in the spring of 2022, drawing on the knowledge he has gained as an engineer, intellectual property specialist, and corporate executive at several electronics and parts manufacturers, as well as his experience as a researcher at a top US university and in various collaborations with high-tech companies in the US and China.
We will thoroughly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of our clients from their perspective, even if they themselves are not aware of them, and will support our clients as advisors and consultants in improving their profitability and growth by using intellectual property strategies such as patenting and concealing their unique technologies and know-how as intellectual property, as well as secret strategies such as skillful transaction negotiations that do not fall to the client's mercy.
Furthermore, as technical experts, we provide thorough and easy-to-understand explanations of advanced and complex new high-tech technologies, even for those with a liberal arts background, to provide financial institutions such as investment banks and funds with appropriate information to help them make decisions when considering new investments, and we also provide major consulting firms with appropriate technical explanations on a variety of new technology themes, along with future market outlooks.
As a management consultant, we support a wide variety of companies both domestically and internationally through such means as improving business profitability, building intellectual property strategies, providing technical advice, advising on improving manufacturing quality, analyzing technology markets and risks, and proposing new customer fields.
