Founder-Owner's New Year 2012 Message
Dear Clients & Colleagues
Happy New Year! May we offer our best wishes to you, and to your families, for peace, excellent health and bountiful success throughout 2012!
After the difficult world and business conditions of 2011, it is important to remember the world has previously faced far harsher predicaments and even worse peril, and yet somehow, we all persevered and prevailed.
We will achieve a great recovery and greater prosperity for all by simply following the inspirational words of one of the world's greatest inventors, Thomas Alva Edison, who said that "The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, 'stick-to-itiveness'; third, common sense."
Our Firm embodies these vital virtues championed by Edison. We always work hard for our clients. We relentlessly stick to our clients' missions and exceed their goals. We always heed common sense and prize intellectual honesty when we represent our clients in IP matters. The winning combination of these traits has led to the flowering of our 30 plus year history of outstanding client achievements.
We're honored by our clients' accomplishments, the mastery of our top notch team, the amazing depth of our capabilities and we are ready to show how we can deploy these valuable assets and resources to our loyal clients and wonderful associates.
In the spirit of the festive season, there are many things to celebrate at our Firm: our clients' victories, our stalwart professionalism, the nourishing camaraderie amongst our staff and the singular pleasure of ending the workday with a job well done. These simple triumphs were the result of our collective hard work, determination and common sense. These 3 qualities crystallize the value we bring to our clients, and this is what differentiates us from other Japanese IP practices.
One major distinguishing and distinctive feature of our unique trailblazing practice is that we are rich in staff talent and diversity. This combined with our culture of excellence, makes us a dynamic and growing IP practice that continues to prosper even in the most challenging economic circumstances.
Our Firm nurtures passionate, savvy problem-solvers who bring foresight and knowledge, deep expertise, and a practical approach to solving IP problems and delivering real impact to our clients' business.
Our reward is the confidence and satisfaction of our clients. Our evidence of success is the continued ascendancy of our clients in the marketplace and the consistent thwarting of their competitors. All of us at SHUSAKU YAMAMOTO are humbled at how our clients' valuable intellectual property is admired and the envy of their competition and this is the most persuasive evidence of why we are one of the leading and most successful IP practices in Japan and the world.
The most critical element to our success has of course been the unshakable support that we have received from all of you - our clients, associates and friends. You give us the motivation and encouragement to push ourselves higher. For this we sincerely thank you.
We know that only consistently outstanding performance and ‘out of the ordinary' service will satisfy clients and associates. Only the unwise will guarantee success in every single case. What we can warrant is that you will receive our very best every step of the way.
In welcoming 2012, the Year of the Dragon according to the Asian Zodiac calendar, may we take this opportunity to wish you all the best for the New Year. My firm and I are eagerly looking forward to work with you.
Yours Sincerely
Shusaku Yamamoto, Esq.
Osaka, Japan
