If a trademark that you wish to use in Japan has been already registered by third party, we will investigate the designated goods or services for the mark carefully and discuss likelihood of success of an agreement to use the mark from the proprietor of the mark.
In Japan, as most of trademarks are registered by designating broad scope of goods and services and therefore, it is likely to be allowed to use the mark for the goods that the proprietor is not using for.
