¡ESTABLISHMENT OF LAW FIRM

May 25, 1998
Dear Clients and Associates:

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I graduated from Tokyo University, receiving a Bachelor Degree in Technology in 1975. After working for a governmental corporation, thereafter for an American company in its legal division, I passed the bar examination in 1987. I then entered the First Tokyo Bar Association and Patent Attorneys Association in 1989, and worked for nine years at the Yamasaki Law & Patent Office with Mr. Yukuzo Yamasaki, a former Chairperson of the Intellectual Property Committee of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations. My focus is in the field of intellectual property law and international licensing agreements. I have prosecuted patent infringement cases in the fields of machinery, electrical apparatus, telecommunication, chemistry, pharmacy, and computer hardware and software, making good use of my technical background.
I hope for your success in your business, and that I may be of assistance to you in patent infringement or other intellectual property-related matters in Japan.

Sincerely,

Nobuo Hino
