Our Services:Designs<\/h2>\n

In an age when things are abundant and people want less, designs are increasingly important for our customers\u2019 businesses.Our professional and experienced Design Team supports our clients to protect their design rights from the pre-application to post-registration of their designs.<\/p>\n

For example, we conduct design search on third parties\u2019 prior registrations before actually filing a design application, respond to Office Actions, and file lawsuits when our clients\u2019 design rights are infringed.<\/p>\n

We also assist our clients in avoiding third parties\u2019 unrighteous obtainment of our clients\u2019 designs or execution of such rights against our clients, through design investigation, an expert\u2019s opinion, and\/or filing of an invalidation trial.<\/p>\n

It may seem rather simple to prepare a proper design application; however, it is very important to be careful in considering the possibility of registration and in defining the scope of design protection before filing a design application. For example, it is necessary to determine whether the scope of protection should be the entire design or a partial design, in consideration of the publicly known designs.<\/p>\n

Further, variants of the applied-for design are often created at the same time or maybe added afterwards. In such cases, we may need to be quite strategic and advise our clients that they file a related design application or a secret design.<\/p>\n

In close cooperation with the patent and law firms abroad, we support our clients all over the world who are willing to export their goods into the Japanese market.<\/p>\n
