 Mr. Katsuhisa Ishizuka, a trademark attorney and certified SME advisor, of Ishizuka Patent & Trademark Office, will be available for private consultations to advise on a wide range of trademark related topics such as trademark applications, searches, appraisals, problem-solving, trademark systems and application procedures in foreign countries.  This year sees amendments in the Japanese trademark system that allows for sound-based and other new types of trademarks. With Japanese licensing companies increasingly active internationally, this Advice Clinic is the ideal opportunity to review the legal aspects of your current trademarking strategy.
