Benrishi

Benrishi is a word from Japan that means "patent attorney".

A patent attorney is a kind of lawyer who helps people and companies protect their inventions.

When someone invents something, they can file for a patent, which is a special kind of legal protection that gives them the right to stop other people from making, selling, or using their invention without permission.

But getting a patent can be really complicated! That's where a patent attorney comes in.

A patent attorney knows all the rules and laws about getting a patent, and they can help the inventor fill out all the necessary paperwork and file it with the government. They can also help the inventor defend their patent if someone else tries to copy their invention.

So, just like if you have a problem and you go to a doctor to help you, if you have an invention and you want to protect it, you can hire a benrishi, or patent attorney, to help you.
