Who is "Pericles"?

--- a statesman who, building a confederation between Athens and Spartcas, enhancing national prestige, led ancient Greece to victory in Persian Wars.

More than 2500 years ago, Pericles talked to people in Athens about democracy, constitutional system, ethos of freedom, esteem for rationality, leisure in life with games and festivals and so on, and insisted that it is significant for each to devote themselves in more universal value (beauty and virtue) aiming to realize those ideals.　     (see; Iwata, Haruo, Girisha Shisou Nyumon, University of Tokyo Press, 2012） 

We named our company after him with a belief that our vision and mission share the same ideas as his.

Our Corporate Vision : to create comprehensive and compromising culture in Intellectual Property area which will drive more efficient use of human & financial resources in private companies and universities, leading to the realization of technology-oriented IP Innovation.

Our Corporate Mission : to conduct proper invention evaluations with our PPT Evaluation, which is  unique in the point that a (former) Chief Appeals Examiner of the Patent Office, a (former) corporate IP Manager and a Professor of a university for technology express "free open-minded opinions," and the results of diverse patent researches with “respect for reason and foresight" based on their experiences.
