It is our philosophy to provide competent legal services that other firm cannot comparably provide.  The necessitated ensuing problem is how we can so provide?  Deep & Far so achieve by selecting, edifying and nurturing peoples who have the following personalities: learned in expertise, morally earnest and sincerely behaved in mind and strictly disciplined between give and take.  It is well-believed that such properties are key factors for peoples to properly and competently behave themselves. 

By the perseverance that we only do what and only perform works which enable this firm to be deep and far, Deep and Far can then equate the reality with its name.

If challenges similar to the following are desired to show our extraordinary competence, we would like to take them: (1) Sending a pending or granted patent for our comments on how we can improve its claims; (2) Sending a pending patent specification without the claims for us to draft new claims for comparison with the original claims; or (3) Sending an initial disclosure at the same time to the client’s current counsel and this firm in order to compare and find out which claim set is the better one.
