Question
I have some basic questions about registering trademarks and patents in Japan.
1. Do I need a lawyer in order to file a patent or trademark in Japan?
2. Also, what is the difference between Gyoseishoshi and Shihoshoshi? Can they both file patents and trademarks?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

In terms of patents, if you are eventually planning to file in more than just Japan, a PCT application might be something else to think about. A PCT application will grant you initial protection in up to 148 countries. However, you will need to eventually file for specific country/region protection no later than 30 months after the earliest filing date of your initial application.
