Trademark law

Are you designing a trademark or planning to register a trademark? We can help you.

	Trademark Search Prior to filing the application, it is necessary for the applicant to search and consider whether there are any conflicts with the trademark. For example, whether the trademark infringes upon another person's right when it is used, or whether the trademark is able to be registered when the application is made.
	Trademark Registration It is possible to conduct trademark registration by yourself. However, specialized knowledge is required for preparation of application documents, application procedures, response to a Decision of Rejection, and other related legal issues. In response to this, our experienced benrishi (Japanese patent attorneys) take care of the registration process on your behalf.
	Trademark Management Each trademark is valid for 10 years after the registration of the mark (Japanese Trademark Law Article 19).
