This book provides an overview and discussion of product design protection and practice under Japanese law. The book features an analysis of the design law (including the far-reaching 2020 amendments) and how it has been applied by Japanese courts and the Japan Patent Office. It includes not only an examination of the design law by legal experts but also a discussion of design protection from the perspective of Japanese designers.
