Tsuyoshi Sueyshi is an IP-focused attorney and patent agent based in Tokyo with over 15 years’ experience handling high-stakes patent litigation, licensing, invalidation trials and technology disputes for domestic and international clients. A chemist by training (BSc and PhD from the University of Tokyo) who transitioned from R&D in Li-ion batteries and catalysts to patent prosecution and litigation, he uniquely combines deep technical expertise in physical chemistry and solid-state physics with courtroom and JPO practice. He has argued precedent-setting cases — including an IP High Court enlarged panel matter that reversed JPO guidance on patent term extension — and regularly represents clients across pharmaceuticals, biotech, semiconductors, telecommunications and performance chemicals. Recognized repeatedly by IAM, Chambers and Lexology Index, he is as comfortable drafting complex licensing deals as litigating infringement and appeals. He also contributes to open-source engineering projects, bringing practical backend and test-automation experience from work on the popular AngleSharp HTML/CSS parser to his systematic, detail-oriented approach to IP disputes. This blend of laboratory, patent-prosecution and litigation experience gives him a rare ability to translate nuanced science into persuasive legal strategy.
