In the case of patents, utility models, and designs, the meeting will proceed smoothly if you prepare the actual product and drawings such as design drawings (illustrations and rough sketches are fine).

It is possible to conduct a search before filing to see if there are similar applications or registrations by others, and to consider the registrability to some extent. However, it cannot be guaranteed 100%.

The fee from application to registration is not paid at once, but is incurred at each stage, such as when filing, when responding to reasons for refusal, etc., and when registering. Once the content of the application has been finalized, we will propose a cost based on an estimate, etc.

Even after registration, there will be costs (pensions, etc.) to maintain rights. We have received the fee to be paid to the Patent Office and our fee and management fee.
