[National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Conference 2024, April 12] Uchida & Samejima Law Firm has been confirmed to participate as a co-creation partner.

Lifeness Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director and Group CEO: Yukihiro Maru) will host the National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Conference 2024 on Friday, April 12, 2024. It has been confirmed that Uchida & Samejima Law Offices will participate as a co-creation partner.

The National Knowledge Manufacturing Conference is a forum that embodies “knowledge manufacturing”—the creation of new knowledge through the combination of existing knowledge. In contrast to Japan, with its declining birthrate and aging population, the world’s population continues to grow rapidly, and markets are steadily expanding. At the same time, however, the world faces a mountain of challenges. Conventional industrial structures, which have downplayed environmental impacts, have already reached their limits, and there is a growing need for new industrial models that achieve harmony between humanity and the Earth. The National Knowledge Manufacturing Conference features case studies shared by mid-sized and small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with cutting-edge initiatives, as well as exhibition booths by companies striving to pioneer the future. The conference aims to connect the knowledge of the people gathered here to solve unresolved challenges.

We are pleased to announce that the law firm Uchida & Sameshima Law Firm, has been confirmed to join us as a co-creation partner to help build new value together. Attorney Sameshima, a partner at the firm, served as the real-life inspiration for Attorney Kamiya in the TV drama “Shitamachi Rocket.” The firm primarily serves mid-sized, small, and startup companies, specializing in corporate legal matters—including intellectual property and IT law—and offers services such as “IP and Technology-Related Disputes” “T-System-Related Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution,” and “IP and Legal Department Outsourcing Services.”

Uchida & Samejima Law Firm is scheduled to deliver a keynote presentation. We will announce further details on the National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing 2024 website as soon as they are finalized.
