Our Services
We register trademarks such as product names and company logos for exclusive use by your company and yourself.
When you register your trademark, you can prevent other people from using that trademark, which will enhance the brand value and protect its credibility. Registering a trademark takes time so it is essential to register one before it becomes well known.
We will conduct a simple trademark survey at the meeting stage as the right to a trademark cannot be acquired if a similar trademark already exists.
We can file applications for trademark registration on the day of application since prompt handling is essential.

A patent is an exclusive right granted to protect an invention.
When a patent right is granted, another company cannot copy it and use it as its own. A patent grants the holder exclusive rights to the manufacture and sale of products derived from an invention and allows the holder to exclude competition enabling him/her to dominate and increase his/her market share.
A patent protects an invention for 20 years (up to 25 years for pharmaceuticals).

A utility model is a patent-like intellectual property right to protect inventions.
However, the condition of “shape or construction of articles or combination of articles” applies to a utility model. Since a manufacturing process does not relate to the shape of an article, a utility model registration cannot be made for it.
Since the registration of a utility model does not require an examination of its novelty, etc., the registration process takes between 4 - 6 months compared to 1 year and a half for patents.
If consulted, we will decide whether an application for a patent or utility model should be made.

A design right protects mainly designs. It is possible to register an overall design or the design of a characteristic part of an article.
This right controls products using the design or similar design products. Although copyright may apply to objects, this right is limited to paintings and other art.
A design registration protects a design for up to 25 years and registering a design is recommended for properly protecting a design.
