Trademarks
Our service related to trademarks is not merely an administrative filing of applications for registration, but is rather a service to advise on and carry out the best way to make applications, taking into account the client's objectives in using and protecting the marks and designs. This includes advice on brand-related strategy. We also advise on the risks of leaving marks unregistered, taking into account the nature of the relevant marks and products.
In addition to our Japanese trademark practice, we handle "international registrations" under the Madrid Protocol in collaboration with the specialized IP attorneys of IGIP Iwata Godo Patent Attorneys Inc., and collaborate with our strong network of law firms in other countries to handle foreign applications and liaison with foreign government agencies.
