On December 18, 2024, Greg Gewirtz and Nahoko Ono spoke at 2024 JETRO NY IPG Webinar, one of its largest ever--with 151 participants from the US and Japan. Nahoko spoke about “Strong patents matter in the US,” and Greg spoke about “AI and Patent Protection” with the help of James Vezeris, who is one of our AI patent prosecution partners.
Unlike usual webinars for Japanese audiences, both Nahoko and Greg received many insightful questions.
JETRO, or the Japan External Trade Organization, is a government-related organization that works to promote mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world. Originally established in 1958 to promote Japanese exports abroad, JETRO's core focus in the 21st century has shifted toward promoting foreign direct investment into Japan and helping small to medium size Japanese firms maximize their global export potential.
