With a strategic emphasis on the fields of trade mark and unfair competition law, Matsubara Muraki & Associates is well-known among its peers for its outstanding quality in prosecution-related work. The firm also garnered a reputation among foreign clients from its participation in an ever-growing overseas network of firms in more than 200 countries. Recently, the team has been making headway on anti-counterfeiting measures and successfully barred counterfeit products from passing through Japanese Customs. Domain name disputes are also a familiar territory for Matsubara Muraki & Associates, which acted for clients in arbitration before WIPO against cybersquatting. Representative partners Nobuyuki Matsubara and Kiyoshi Muraki continue to advise the firm in particularly complex cases.
