DALLAS, May 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IPNav, the world's leading full service patent monetization firm, announced today the launch of a website in Japanese, http://jp.ipnav.com/ .
Japan has long been a leader in innovation. Sony's Walkman was the first commercially successful portable music player. Japan launched the world's first cellular phone system in 1978, a few months before cellular phone service was available in the US. Blu-Ray DVD players, memory sticks, and high speed "bullet" trains are all Japanese innovations. In 2012 four Japanese companies were among the top ten companies granted US patents – more than any other country, including the US.
"As a long-time frequent visitor to Japan I have great respect for the wealth of intellectual property created through many years of impressive patent filing," said IPNav President Business Development Steven Davey. "At IPNav we believe that the time is right for the monetization of these assets and the launch of our Japanese site will help make our services more accessible to clients in Japan."
Recognizing the importance of a global presence in the global IP marketplace, IPNav has offices in the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
