There is no problem with customers who are far away or who do not have time to meet in person for meetings. Visitors are also welcome.

3 Strict Trademark Search iRify International Patent Office
Based on the contents of the meeting, a dedicated person in charge will conduct a strict trademark search. To determine the degree of relegibilability, we will consider all about 30 examination items that the JPO examiners consider.
4 Joint Meeting iRify International Patent Office
Based on the research materials of the dedicated person in charge, we will make a final decision on the possibility of registering the customer’s trademark through a collaborative discussion involving multiple patent attorneys. There are not many patent firms that go this far. There is a reason for iRify International Patent Office’s high trademark registration success rate.

7 Confirmation of application details and transfer of application fee Customers
A dedicated person in charge will send you an e-mail asking you to confirm the contents of the document to be submitted to the JPO. Please check that there are no errors in the contents. If there are no errors, please transfer the cost at the time of filing the trademark application.

Examination – Report of examination results (6 months to 1 year)
9 Examination JPO
The examiner will examine whether it is okay to register your trademark. If the trademark registration is successfully approved, iRify International Patent Office will be notified of the “Grant of Registration”. On the other hand, if there is a reason why the trademark registration is not granted, a “notice of reasons for refusal” will be issued.
10 Report of Assessment of Registration iRify International Patent Office
If we receive a notice of a “Registration Assessment”, we will promptly report it to you.
If you receive a “notice of reasons for refusal”, we will consult with you about future measures such as whether to take measures to overturn the examiner’s decision or to abandon registration. If you give up your registration, we will refund the full success fee. iRify International Patent Office conducts rigorous trademark searches, so it is rare to receive a “Notice of Reasons for Refusal”.
