What are the benefits of a domestic enterprise registering a Japanese trademark?

Nowadays, the economy of the world is constantly developing, and the exchanges between countries are becoming more frequent. Many companies have also registered some international trademarks to expand their popularity and business scope, so what are the advantages of cross-border merchants registering Japanese trademarks?

1. Import and export**.

Japan's lack of resources is therefore extremely dependent on imports, and the main import commodities are primary energy such as **, natural gas, food, raw materials, etc.; The main export commodities are automobiles, electrical appliances, general machinery, chemicals, etc. The main objects are Chinese mainland, the United States, ASEAN, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Germany, etc., so many foreign trade companies need to register Japanese trademarks if they have business activities in Japan.

2. Settle in Japanese e-commerce.

Amazon's Japan site has the advantage of being close to China and low logistics costs, which can be reached in 24 hours by FBA logistics in Japan and by SF Express in 3-4 days. In addition, the cultural differences between China and Japan are smaller, and many festivals are similar to those in China, so it is possible to take advantage of these advantages to greatly increase sales on Prime Day.

3. Brand packaging.

As we all know, Japan's electronic and electrical industry and automobile manufacturing industry are highly developed, and they are highly well-known in the world, such as Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Sharp, Toshiba and other companies. Japan has a high reputation in consumer electronics, household appliances, automobiles, and pharmaceutical industries, especially Japanese cosmeceutical brands are well known in China, so Japanese brands can be packaged to enhance corporate image. Take this as a gimmick to play the purpose of brand packaging, enhance its own competitiveness, and stand out among its peers.

China and Japan registered trademarks, that must be different, first of all, Japan is since the Meiji Restoration, has been implementing the capitalist system and spanning a hundred years of development history, so the development of Japan's business system is relatively perfect, which also includes the trademark registration system, management and other countries and regions in the world, Japanese registered trademarks also need to submit information application approval process, etc., in order to get the corresponding legal protection, and China has been implementing the socialist road system, but also in recent decades of development, So far, its registered trademark also needs to submit the corresponding information, review process, etc. But in fact, the difference between the two local registrations can be seen in the following points:

The most essential difference between Japan and China trademark registration is the difference in the way of trademark payment, because the Chinese trademark registration fee is only paid once, while the fee for trademark registration in Japan is paid once separately from the registration application, and the official fee for trademark registration in Japan is 28,200 yen, if the trademark does not pass the examination, there is no need to pay the fee for the registration stage, followed by the difference in the order and time of trademark announcement, Chinese trademark registration is first announced and then registered, and three months after the preliminary examination is passed, No one objected to the re-registration announcement to be officially registered, and the Japanese trademark is registered first and then announced, that is, the examination is completed, and the registration fee is paid after the registration, and then it is announced for two months, and finally the trademark installment system, the Japanese trademark can only pay a one-time fee for 5 years, and then pay 5 years when the 5-year expires, so when the Japanese trademark is registered, we must pay attention to whether the certificate is valid for 5 years or 10 years, which is divided into time periods.
