ENGLISH

　In recent years, many foreign companies have already entered the market, but the number of cases where they are plagued by unexpected intellectual property troubles is increasing. Foreign countries wishing to expand into Thailand must take measures to protect their own products and brands in Thailand.

　However, the Thai intellectual property system seems to be chaotic from a foreigner’s point of view, and it seems that the current situation is that it is not well understood. This is because Thailand’s intellectual property system itself differs from that of other countries, and the information infrastructure for intellectual property is still inadequate. Thai language is one of the factors that make it difficult to learn. Thai is the official language of Thailand, so all application documents (such as specifications, claims, drawings, abstracts, etc.) are required to be written in Thai. All publications are also published in Thai.

　Our office is based in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, and is an intellectual property law firm established to specialize in intellectual property law such as patents, designs, and trademarks. In addition, we have Thai patent attorneys and Japanese professionals with practical experience as our staff, and are familiar with the intellectual property system of Japan as well as Thailand. We provide professional services based on our experience. Our office communicates with Japanese clients entirely in Japanese.

　In Thailand, there are few intellectual property firms, and conflicts between clients in the same industry are likely to occur. In order to protect the interests of our clients, please be assured that we give due consideration to this point at the time of acceptance.

　Ms. Chuleerat Kunponmuang （Thai Patent Attorney）
