Dealing with provisional refusals in Japan underadrid Protocol
Trademark systems vary greatly from country to country.
Therefore, in Japan, it is necessary to make any refutation or amendments with a Japanese perspective. Making any refutation or amendments with a foreign perspective may narrow the scope of your rights and lower your success rate.
For this reason, it is advisable to appoint a Japanese patent attorney as your local representative.
We handle opinions and amendments in response to provisional refusals in Japan under the international trademark registration (Madrid Protocol).
