How long does it take before a trademark is registered?
There is no guaranteed time frame required for registering a trademark in Japan. In majority of the the cases the first office action can most likely be expected within the first six months from the date of filing of the application for the trademark.
Except in rare cases, a final disposition can be expected within about 18 months. This mainly depends on the number of classes you have applied for registering your trademark.
If you have applied for only a single class, the time frame for registration of your trademark will only be less, and if there are multiple classes for registration of your trademark, the time frame required will naturally go up.
