Now, I'm unemployed, but several years ago, I worked for a law office as a trademark attorney. My work was to help people to obtain trademark rights in Japan by taking necessary steps with the Japan Patent Office. Our clients were in mainly the U.K., and the rest were in the U.S., Scandinavia, and central Europe. The reason for our main clients from the U.K. was that my boss had worked there for more than 10 years and then, had came back to Japan.

Actually, I got sick and I couldn't help but quit my job. I now receive a pension to live on. I'm not thinking about working as a trademark attorney, but if a chance comes, I'll try it again.
As for your second question, most of the time I enjoyed it. That's because it gave me a feeling of accomplishment when I succeeded in obtaining a trademark right in Japan, in which it needed an difficult argument with the Examiner of the Japan Patent Office who did't grant the registration of the right. It was very rewarding.

Oh, never mind. I have loved my job in that I used English everyday. Now, I'm enjoying my English study, and it will help me to work as a trademark attorney again.
When I worked, I only write English, and it doesn't require me to speak English at all. All communication with our clients is via Email, and I haven't experiences to call them. Therefore, I'm not good at speaking, especially, constructing English sentences quickly is very difficult. Do you have any advice which help me to quickly construct English sentences?

Thank you very much for your advice. I try to have more opportunities to speak out English.
As for your question, I have particular interests in trademark law. The ability to explain the differences between trademark law in Japan and those in foreign countries to our clients is required in my job, so I have a desire to know more about trademark laws in foreign countries. My hope is to study abroad in the future, and I want to learn foreign trademark laws from the view point of comparative law.

No, I haven't. However, I sometimes take an online class about the U.S. trademark law. The U.S. trademark law is somewhat different from that of the rest of the country, so it is realized as an anomaly. That's because the U.S. doesn't ratify a treaty in relation to trademark rights, which most of the countries do so. Therefore, I'm interested in comparing the U.S law to that of Japan.
