As to inspection of trademark before announcement, we will inform the clients of measures as soon as possible if we find any application for similar trademarks. Usually, if we encounter malicious trademark applicants, we will suggest clients investigating their backgrounds and credit to find out their actual use of counterfeit trademarks and whether they have infringed IPR of the right holders.
