What our clients say about working with TOKAI PATENT.
"I've registered two trademarks in Japan with Tokai Patent. I'd never registered a trademark anywhere in the world before so I honestly thought it was going to be a complex and expensive process. One message to Tokai Patent cleared up all my uncertainty and me and my small company immediately had Tokai Patent process our applications.
Working with Tokai Patent was like working with a friend. Communication was easy, casual and quick. We had two trademark certificates hanging on our wall quicker than we expected and at an extremely fair price. We look forward to working with them again in the future, and we've been recommending them to all our associates and friends."
"TOKAI PATENT was the first company I looked at for my trademark. They helped me with the entire process. The success of the registration was great. It was nice to not have the feeling that I was just a customer. I was able to contact them at almost any time, as they put in much time to succeed in the registration process. Although we live on separate islands, it feels as if I were working with a neighbor."
