Personal News of Takenori HIROE
  The Receivers of the Medals of Merit for the Springtime to be awarded by the Emperor were finally decided at the Cabinet council held on June 14, 2011, which had been postponed because of the devastating earthquake hitting Eastern Japan earlier this year, and their names were publicly announced recently.
  To my great surprise, the Commissioner of the Japan Patent Office, having credited my long time services as patent attorney, had recommended me for a Yellow Ribbon Medal, and my name was among the honored Receivers.
  I do owe this honor to all the clients, foreign and domestic, of HIROE AND ASSOCIATES, the business community of Gifu Prefecture, members of the Japan Patent Attorneys’ Association, and people around me including the present and past staff of HIROE AND ASSOCIATES, who had provided me with all support I needed for over thirty long years.
  Taking this opportunity, I am determined afresh to continuously work hard as patent attorney and do what I can to pilot the rising generation. I would appreciate your continued patronage.

A Message from Mr. Takenori Hiroe
It is my great pleasure to introduce our firm to you here. I am particularly proud of the success of our international section, which can be attributed to the individual skills of each section member. It is my wish that the service we provide to our foreign clients, in particular, continues to improve. We gratefully welcome any comments from clients on ways to improve our performance.

In our efforts to understand and learn about the needs of our foreign clients, I often attend international meetings on intellectual property. I hope to have the opportunity to meet with you during one of my visits overseas. If you are visiting Japan, we welcome you to come and tour our office in Gifu.

Mr. Takenori Hiroe graduated from Gifu University with a degree in textile engineering in 1971. Immediately after graduation, he began working in research and development at Japan Vilene Company, Ltd. in Tokyo.
