TRADEMARKSCAN^®- Japan Now Available on Dialog

Dialog is pleased to announce the availability of frequently requested Japanese trademark file, TRADEMARK-SCAN-Japan (File 669) provided by Thomson & Thomson and produced by Brandy International. It is the first Japanese trademark file designed for use by trademark professionals outside Japan, and greatly enhances the collection of international trademark files available on Dialog.

TRADEMARKSCAN-Japan makes it possible to search Japanese trademark registrations and applications in English. Entries are in both translated and transliterated form. All records are displayed in Roman characters, regardless of the character set in the original form (Hiragana, Katakana or Kanji). In addition, trademarks owned by non-Japanese organizations are restored to their original Roman spelling.

The file is further enhanced with the availability of trademark images. See Figure 1.

Trademarks may be searched using the words in the mark, the Rotated Trademark field (TR=), and the International Class or National Class fields.

TRADEMARKSCAN-Japan can be searched using OneSearch® with any of the other trademark files and is included in the global TMKS or TRADEMKS OneSearch categories.

File 669 contains over 2.5 million records and will be updated monthly. Alerts are available on a monthly basis.

Rates are $5.50 per DialUnit, and $4.00 for a full record typed, displayed or printed with or without an image. Alerts are $10.00 per monthly update.
