Comments from Speaker
Is your Japanese design registration really built to hold up in enforcement? In Japan, a design right is shaped not only by drawings but also by the words that accompany them, namely the title and the description. Properly choosing the words is essential to successful enforcement. In addition, the appropriate disclaimer (partial designs) varies depending on the type of enforcement (civil, criminal, or administrative (customs)).
What you will learn
- Design infringement basics: how infringement is assessed in Japan.
