What this is
What has happened to the three-dimensional Pikachu trademark application in Japan (2022-66787): the examiner issued one notice of reasons for refusal, citing the basic distinctiveness rules; amendments and arguments followed, with no decision by 7 November 2026.
How it’s built
- Read from the application’s file history on J-PlatPat, the Japan Patent Office’s database.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
A refusal notice is a step, not a final refusal; applicants often overcome it. The outcome is still open.
