Jite Intellectual Property: Japanese Trademark: What international treaties is Japan a member of?

It is very important for countries to join trademark-related treaties and agreements, and Japan is no exception.

This brings many benefits to Japanese organizations and individuals. For example, organizations and individuals can claim priority in other countries, so the scope of protection is wider; providing a basis for improving the trademark law that is still flawed and lacks necessary provisions to protect international trademarks. Japan has participated in many bilateral and multilateral treaties and agreements, such as the Paris Convention, the Trademark Law Treaty, the Singapore Treaty, the Nairobi Treaty, the Madrid Agreement, the Madrid Protocol, the Nice Agreement, the Vienna agreement". In the future, Japan will continue to participate in the agreement to facilitate companies, organizations and individuals who need trademark registration.

Therefore, due to participation in international treaties, trademark law has been continuously improved to better protect national trademarks and even protect international trademarks.
