Design&Trademark

We have extensive experience in providing high quality services for submitting and organizing design applications. It is not our priority to pursue a high number of cases. Our emphasis is to precisely describe the originality of the design with reference to the drawings, identifying that the produce has been originally designed, and the making of the design drawings.
From lengthy spark plug cables to cameras equipped with a protective cover, we are fully experienced in applying for design registrations for odd or unique products.
We also have developed a strong background in registering trademarks both inside and outside of Japan. As well as the application for product trademark and service mark registration in Japan, we are experts on the Madrid Protocol-based application, the international application, and the trademark application from overseas to Japan. From our experience, we can properly advise our clients how to deal with the problems caused by misleading and confusing trademark names.
