ABOUT

What is JAPAN DIRECT?

Wanting to create a simple and easy process to file and retrieve a trademark in Japan, we have established a service that allows you to file a trademark application directly in Japan without going through intermediary patent firms. 

We used to be in your position as clients, filing many trademark applications. We would ask profesionals like patent attorneys to complete complicated paperwork. However they would tell us, "Don't leave all the work to us".

Through that experience, we became determined to create a service that would not complicate the lives of clients. 
 
Working with a patent firm is often to be complicated and hard to comprehend. Especially when applying in Japan, it requires more time, money and energy with many required paperwork.

We have made things simpler at JAPAN DIRECT and are here to help.

But now, these problems will be resolved with JAPAN DIRECT because we eliminate the intermidiary process of going through  a patent firm in US.
