Certain aspects of Japanese trademark and design practice are sometimes rather bewildering to overseas applicants (such as, for example, how to convert an English-language mark into appropriate Japanese). Please don't hesitate to take advantage of the expertise we offer in these matters. At Taiyo, we pride ourselves on the care we take to ensure that new applications meet JPO standards, and we are always happy to provide advice on how to avoid potential Office Actions when filing a new application (such as by modifying the descriptions of designated goods/services, or revising drawings).
