 Yukio Nagasawa is pleased to announce the opening of his own independent law practice to facilitate the growth of his international patent litigation, counseling and opinion practice.  After nearly twenty years as a member of the Japanese judiciary, including a five year period as a Research Judge on the Supreme Court and four years on the bench of the Tokyo High Court, Judge Nagasawa entered private practice of law in 2003.  Areas of practice best suited to utilize his unique skill sets including representation of international clientele as patent trial counsel at the Tokyo District Court (where he served four years as a trial judge for patent cases), post-grant inter partes patent challenges at the Japan Patent Office and appellate representation at the Intellectual Property High Court (a division of the Tokyo High Court, his most recent position within the judiciary). 
As a member of the Japanese judiciary, Judge Nagasawa was involved in groundbreaking activities in the United States and Europe.  He was the first Visiting Judge from his country to serve within the chambers of the Hon. Randall R. Rader of the Federal Circuit, the first of what has become a regular flow of members of the Japanese judiciary having extended stays at that court.  He also was the first member of the Japanese judiciary to be a Visiting Scholar at the George Washington University Law School, helping to pioneer what is today a very close relationship between the George Washington intellectual property law program and the Japanese patent community.  Judge Nagasawa spent time studying European practice within major law firms in Paris, London and Munich.   Today, Judge Nagasawa blends academic appointments with his practice life, having served as a professor and having given lectures at various institutions including the law faculty of Beijing University and at the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property in Munich.
