Mori Hamada & Matsumoto established and started operations of Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Intellectual Property Co., Ltd. (Executive Director: Yoshifumi Onodera) in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China. The company is an affiliate of our firm which specializes in handling operations such as trademark applications and trials in China.
By establishing the new company, we have put in place a system that enables us to provide our clients with one-stop services in relation to businesses including observation of usurped trademarks, prior trademark investigations, trademark application procedures, trademark-related trials, administrative exposure, and copyright registration in China.
In China, damage caused from fraudulent acquisition of trademarks by third parties (usurped application) and counterfeits and pirated copies that infringe trademark rights and copyrights is still serious, and it is not necessarily easy to engage local attorneys who can deal with these problems in a professional and appropriate manner.
We provide high quality service, as expected of a Japanese law firm, in order to obtain, execute, and protect trademark rights of our clients in China, by coordinating seamlessly with our Beijing Office, staff team in Tokyo in charge of trademark affairs, and the new company.
