Lower amount of damages is not necessarily in civil action because of utility model. Japanese Kanji Trademark Certification and Hashtag Judgment --- Taiwan Trademark Ruling --- A. Japanese-language trademarks in Taiwan are not examined as graphic marks, but as character trademarks. Chinese characters are used in both Taiwan and Japan, while some Chinese characters have different meanings in Chinese and Japanese, the meanings of some Japanese characters are recognized by consumers. Then, it is an issue whether the relevant examination should be judged in the Chinese meaning or in the Japanese meaning. The relevant circumstances and measures to deal with them will be explained. Discussion may be made whether these are distinctive. The seminar will be given in Japanese. And Mr. Aikawa will be a moderator. Lecturer : Mr. J. W. Cheng Mr. Lynn Chung Mr. Y. C.
