How to apply for Japanese trademark registration?

Chinese business people must carefully consider many factors when applying for Japanese trademark registration.

Although the requirements of the China Intellectual Property Office and the Japan Intellectual Property Office are different, generally speaking the main requirements include:

1. Applying for Japanese trademark registration Illustration;

2. The mark applied for Japanese trademark registration is not descriptive;

3. The mark applied for Japanese trademark registration cannot confuse the public;

4. The mark applied for Japanese trademark registration cannot violate public ethics;

5. The mark applied for Japanese trademark registration cannot be the same or similar to an existing Japanese trademark.

The Japan Intellectual Property Office (JPO) office is mainly responsible for receiving and reviewing all Japanese trademark registration applications. After review, the Japan Intellectual Property Office (JPO) will issue a Japanese trademark registration certificate or reject the application. Apply.

In Japan, all applicants must comply with Article 2 of the Japanese Trademark Law.

The bill sets out the regulatory framework for trademarks in Japan and stipulates that all trademarks must be one of the following trademarks or a combination thereof; a figure, character, logo, color, diagram or 3D shape.

Article 2 also stipulates that Japanese trademarks must be distinguished from other trademarks representing similar goods or services.

To ensure that a business person’s Japanese trademark application is approved by the Japan Intellectual Property Office (JPO), it is important to conduct a trademark search to ensure that the business person’s trademark is original and available for registration.

The complexity of interpreting search results means many owners seek professional assistance when conducting their searches.
