In 2020, the Design Act was amended to expand the scope of protection to include not only physical objects, but also images, buildings, and interiors. Furthermore, compared to patents and utility models, design applications can be filed in a variety of formats, including physical objects and photographs. Therefore, we believe that design registration is a very attractive tool to protect intellectual property.<br \/>\nWhile the application process requires a lot of know-how, we have been working with drafting companies for a long time, and we are able to propose the best form of application to our clients. This includes not only general drawings but also photography, for example.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"proList\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"photo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp\/c1800\/DE\/JP-2018-024177\/3588E2A34186D57E9A66CBE90358D9C3E5A7412A1D3948053B2CE4141B866098\/30\/ja\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chuo-pat.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chuo\/img\/services-2_2.jpg\" alt=\"JP1631214\"><\/a> <\/div>\n<p class=\"wpText en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp\/c1800\/DE\/JP-2018-024177\/3588E2A34186D57E9A66CBE90358D9C3E5A7412A1D3948053B2CE4141B866098\/30\/ja\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[JP1631214]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"comBg con-a\" id=\"3\">\n<h2 class=\"headLine02\"><span class=\"enTitle\">TRADEMARKS<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"comImgBox\">\n<div class=\"txtBox\">\n<h3 class=\"headLine03 enTitle\">Proposing the best form of protection for your business<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wpText en\">Trademarks play an important role in protecting a new business. And deciding on what goods or services a trademark should cover is very important for protection. In addition, trademarks can be filed in a variety of formats, protecting not only letters and marks, but also colors and sounds. Therefore, as with designs, filing an application requires in-depth know-how, but we are able to propose the most suitable form of application to our clients based on our extensive experience in filing applications.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"photoBox fadeInUp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chuo-pat.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chuo\/img\/services-3_1.jpg\" alt=\"TRADEMARKS\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"proList\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"photo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp\/c1800\/TR\/JP-2021-041524\/1AA779F257EFEB470D2B12B8DA41D293370543E32688976B6AB3AACE77909C63\/40\/ja\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chuo-pat.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chuo\/img\/services-3_2.jpg\" alt=\"JP6413082\"><\/a> <\/div>\n<p class=\"wpText\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp\/c1800\/TR\/JP-2021-041524\/1AA779F257EFEB470D2B12B8DA41D293370543E32688976B6AB3AACE77909C63\/40\/ja\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[JP6413082]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"subBg\">\n<div class=\"txtInner txtInner01\">\n<h3 class=\"headLine04\"><span class=\"enTitle\">Search for prior trademark registration<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"txtBox\">\n<p class=\"wpText en\">We can search your trademark to see if it has been previously registered. Trademarks are not allowed to be registered if they are the same or similar to ones that have already been registered. It takes a lot of practical experience to accurately determine whether or not your trademark is similar to an existing one. Since we have established a cooperative system with patent attorneys specializing in trademarks, we are able to make accurate judgments of similarity using the expertise of our staff as well as the one of third parties.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"txtInner txtInner01\">\n<h3 class=\"headLine04\"><span class=\"enTitle\">Providing proper management<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"txtBox\">\n<p class=\"wpText en\">Unlike patents, utility models, and designs, trademarks can be renewed every 10 years (or every five years in some cases) to ensure that they remain in force.
