When you need a legalised trademark registration certificate in Japan
The Indian trademark registration certificate proves your ownership of a brand. Trademark offices, customs and marketplaces abroad ask for it for priority claims, licence recordals, distributor registration and anti-counterfeit action. The trademark registration certificate is issued by the Trade Marks Registry of India.
Distributors and regulators in Asia often ask for legalised licences and registrations when approving a new Indian supplier.
Companies dealing with Japan are most often asked for a legalised trademark registration certificate during trademark filing and priority claims, as well as for recording licences and distributors and customs and anti-counterfeit enforcement.
A trademark registration certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Japan accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
