Upcoming Free Webinar: Intellectual Property in Global Markets

On November 5, 2025, at 12:00 PM JST, Authense Law Firm will host the fourth volume of its popular webinar series, "Walking the Path of Intellectual Property." This session will provide insights into overseas trademark strategies crucial for securing brands in the global marketplace.

Authense Law Firm, based in Minato City, Tokyo, operates under the slogan, "Focus on Emotions," striving not only to resolve legal issues but also to understand and address the emotional aspects involved in such challenges. The firm's group entity, Authense Patent Attorneys, will lead this critical discussion about protecting intellectual property, addressing current trends and practical issues in IP management.

With the expansion of businesses in international markets becoming commonplace, the risks associated with trademark disputes are no longer confined to major corporations.

Understanding Trademark Risks

A common scenario arises when a brand gains attention in the domestic market, only to find that a third party has already filed for the trademark abroad. This can lead to bad-faith registrations where businesses risk losing their rights. Not only does this create additional challenges, but it also incurs significant costs as companies navigate disputes that may ultimately lead to unsuccessful outcomes.

Fortunately, many of these risks can be mitigated with proper preparation. Key decisions about where, when, and how to file for trademarks internationally form the backbone of a proactive application strategy, ensuring long-term brand security. During this webinar, participants will learn about strategies for applying for trademarks while preparing a robust monitoring system—essential actions in avoiding potential conflicts down the line.

Insights from Experts

The webinar will feature presentations from two prominent patent attorneys: Kazutaka Gomi, the representative of Authense Patent Attorneys, and Yoshinori Nishino, who specializes in international trademark practices. They will examine real-world examples of trademark challenges businesses face when expanding globally. Attendees can expect detailed advice on:

• - Structuring a strategic application plan
