Dear All

ONION Trademark and IP Firm is a firm of patent attorneys practicing in the heart of Tokyo. And we are, among other things, trademark specialists.

We mainly work with clients in Japan, but we also work with foreign clients (especially in the entertainment field)who wish to obtain trademark rights in Japan,

Our patent attorney, Ichi Yamanaka, has been active in the music industry (record companies and concert promoters) for about 30 years. He has extensive experience as an A&R and knows the importance of trademark registration for artist names, music festival names, and their logos,etc. in this era of live performances and merchandising.

If you wish to register a trademark in Japan, you may often file an application from your country of residence, through a lawyer/attorney in that country, designating Japan in the Madrid System (International Trademark Resistation).

However, even if such an application is filed, it is necessary to have a patent attorney (or attorney at law) in Japan to examine the application and respond to a refusal by the Japan Patent Office. And it is not just any patent attorney, but a patent attorney who is experienced in trademark registration.

Masaru Onoo, the principal patent attorney at ONION IP, has a great deal of successful experience in handling intermediate procedures with the Japan Patent Office.

If you are in the entertainment industry and wish to register your trademark in Japan, please feel free to contact us.
