Our Firm’s Work System Based on the Declaration of a State of Emergency
Jan 8, 2021 Others
In response to the spread of the 2019 coronavirus disease, our firm has set up a response team to deal with any new developments. We have taken measures in consideration of the safety of our clients, business partners and personnel in advance. However, in response to the government’s declaration of a state of emergency on January 7, 2021, we would like to inform you that our personnel in the Tokyo office will, in principle, work from home again.
■Period of Implementation
From January 8, 2021 (Fri) until the declaration is terminated in principle
*We may change the period upon careful consideration in response to any future developments.
■Details of the Implementation
・In principle, all personnel based in the Tokyo office are to work from home
During the period of implementation, attorneys and patent attorneys will work from home in an environment where information security is ensured. You may still contact the office email address and the direct phone number of the attorney or patent attorney in charge of your matter. We may not be able to answer your call in a timely manner, but we will return your call wherever possible.
・Shift to Non face-to-face Meetings
We will refrain from face-to-face meetings and internal and external meetings with clients (the reception at the Tokyo office will be closed from January 12 until the declaration is terminated in principle), and any meetings will be conducted non face-to-face by video or telephone conference, etc. In addition, we will also refrain from holding face-to-face seminars.

・Regarding Postal Items
As we will be delayed in receiving or shipping postal items, please contact us by email if you have any postal items addressed to our firm wherever possible.
・Contact Information
Due to the fact that our staff who would normally answer the phone (03-6775-1000) will now be working from home, we may not be able to answer your calls in a timely manner. Please contact us using the inquiry form on our firm’s website wherever possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause our clients and business partners, and we kindly ask you for your understanding.
Our firm will continue to promptly determine and implement measures based on the policies and action plans of the national and local governments, giving the highest priority to preventing the spread of the 2019 coronavirus disease within and outside AMT, and ensuring the safety of all personnel.
