Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Free Trademark Search in Japan Enough to File?

The free Japanese trademark search is a helpful first step for spotting identical wordmarks in one Nice class. However, it does not include phonetic, visual, or conceptual similarity checks, nor coverage of related classes or logos.

For any filing decision, you should rely on a comprehensive trademark search in Japan that identifies confusingly similar marks and provides a legal opinion on registrability before you invest in filing fees.

Why choose a Comprehensive Trademark Search in Japan Over a Free Search?

A comprehensive trademark lookup in Japan goes far beyond a simple identical-mark check. It includes analysis of visually, phonetically, and conceptually similar marks, reviews related classes, and covers both wordmarks and logos.

Each trademark clearance report is reviewed by an IP attorney, includes a risk rating, and provides a filing strategy tailored to your case, helping you avoid costly refusals or oppositions later on.

Can I Upgrade from a Free to a Professional Trademark Check in Japan?

Yes. You can upgrade at any time. Once you receive your free Japanese trademark search results, you can request a comprehensive search using the same information. Our team will expand the scope to include similar marks, logos, and related classes, and deliver a full attorney-reviewed report within 3 business days.
