Anti-Counterfeiting / Brand Management
Our team of IP lawyers and patent and trademark attorneys provides practical and strategic advice for brand management and anti-counterfeiting including border measures and criminal procedures, collaborating with our overseas offices and utilizing our international network.
Our team of IP lawyers and patent and trademark attorneys with considerable expertise and breadth of experience collaborate closely to protect our client’s valuable IP rights and brand value from being counterfeited. In particular, we have vast experience in handling border measures to suspend the importation and exportation of counterfeit goods into and from Japan (under the trademark, design, patent, and unfair competition prevention laws). We also handle customs registrations.
In addition to border measures, we provide a wide range of related legal services, for example, cease and desist letters, negotiations, and the pursuit of civil remedies and criminal sanctions appropriate to each case as well as our client’s business strategies.
We also propose filing strategies that are effective in fighting against counterfeiting and other infringements against our client’s valuable IP rights.
