Panther Software Inc. (株式会社パンサーソフトウェア) was established July 23, 1987 as Studio Panther (有限会社スタジオパンサー). The name was changed to Panther Software in November 1991, then to Interlex Core Inc. (インターレックスコア株式会社) in September 2000, though the Panther Software name continued to be used for the company's game software products. The games and entertainment division was spun back off in April 2005 (again as Panther Software Inc.), but was at some point acquired by eroge company Contents Traffic (previously ZyX).

The company opened offices in South Korea (Panther Software Korea) and the United States (Interlex Inc.) in 1999, and in Taiwan (Interlex Taiwan) in 2001. The US and Taiwan offices were sold off in 2004.

In addition to games, Panther Software was known for their development and art tools for Japanese computers and consoles, as well as for DRM and copy-protection solutions. It was also at one point the head of software trade group Yuuto Group, which also included eroge makers D.O., CD Bros., and ZyX.
