Japan Desk:Taiwan & China IP services for Japanese companies
WISECODE's Japan Desk gives Japanese companies a single, Japanese-speaking point of contact for intellectual property across Taiwan and China — trademarks, patents, designs, FTO and IP risk. We handle filing and prosecution before TIPO and, through our established China partner, before CNIPA, with reporting and communication in Japanese. For Japanese businesses expanding into the Greater China market, this means Taiwan and China IP can be coordinated through one window, on a familiar reporting cadence, without managing multiple foreign firms.
One Japanese-speaking window for Taiwan and China
Japanese companies often need Taiwan and China handled together, but the systems, languages and filing routes are different. The Japan Desk gives you one Japanese-speaking window for instructions, reporting and coordination.
What the Japan Desk handles
- Taiwan trademark filing, prosecution, renewal and disputes
- Taiwan patent filing, prosecution and annuity management

Taiwan + China coordination
WISECODE handles Taiwan work directly before TIPO. For China, we coordinate through our established China partner and support the work with PRC-qualified patent judgment inside our team.
Reporting in Japanese, on your cadence
Japanese clients can receive filing reports, office-action summaries, recommended actions and quote explanations in Japanese. For overseas firms, conflict checks and general inquiries are handled within 2 business days.

Japan Desk matters often start from Taiwan trademark, patent or FTO questions, then expand into China coordination.
Common pitfalls
- Treating Taiwan and China as one IP system.
