Patents/utility models
Our column "Regional Collective Trademarks and Geographical Indications" has been uploaded. It explains the differences and relationships between regional collective trademarks and geographical indications, and how to use them. Traditional industries and specialty products exist all over the country, but that alone does not mean that a brand will be successful and survive in the market. There are many competitors, even in Japan.
We have uploaded our column "How to prevent startup companies from failing with patents". We have summarized the points that are often misunderstood about startup companies and the points that you should be aware of. ``If you obtain a patent right, you will be able to practice your invention with peace of mind without infringing on the patent rights of others.'' ``Even before filing, you can discuss your invention in sales.'' These are misconceptions.
