Certain aspects of Japanese trademark and design practice are often baffling to foreign applicants, and we make it a priority to always clearly explain the niceties of Japanese practice. Related to this, for example, we always carefully review all the descriptions of goods/services in a trademark application and, where necessary, provide our suggestions for appropriate revisions. For design applications, even when priority is claimed, we review all the drawings and provide suggestions for possible modifications within the scope of the priority claim in order to satisfy JPO requirements. If you have any concerns related to Japanese trademarks and designs, please do not hesitate to contact us and enjoy our professional and cost effective services.
