Japan's move to protect geographical brands(2)

Japan’s move to protect geographical brands in China and its implication to Korea

It is between Japan and China where disputes over the intellectual property rights arise most in Northeast Asia. The fact that Japan is still leading this area and China has been rapidly raising its clout lies in this phenomenon. 

As an emerging economy, China has tended to learn lessons from Japan, the most advanced economy in this region in a quick and simple way sometimes without due payment. Such aggressive drives time to time led to undesirable results accompanied by huge controversy and conflict.


More cases have been noticed in the corporate sector. However, conflicts in the public sector are no less serious. That could explain why Japanese central and local governments have been eager to protect Japanese geographical brands in China.
