Register a Trademark in Japan

Japan is a first-to-file country, which means that in order to secure trademark rights, one must first register a trademark. When you register your trademark, it becomes eligible for protection under Japanese trademark rules. Unless and until a trademark is properly registered in Japan, it is not considered your property. If you intend to do business in Japan, you should file a Japanese trademark as soon as feasible. We can assist you with registering your Japanese trademark. We have a designated Japanese attorney who will handle all of your legal needs in Japan, from trademark clearance to trademark registration.
