On January 26, Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced the results of the first bid for “Government-Stocked RICE” produced in 2022. 205,550 t, which is 99% of the planned annual purchase quantity, was sold. Following the 2021 production, it seems that the first bid filled almost all of the planned purchase quota. It seems that the number of successful bids for the first time is the largest since 2011, when the pre-bid system was adopted before the harvest season. Government-stocked rice generally seems to have a lot of bids if there is a prejudice. It seems that there is a strong view among market participants last year that the price of rice produced in 2020 will be followed by the decline in 2021 production. It seems that there was a bid of over 380,000 t from qualified participants such as JA and rice wholesalers in the planned purchase limit of about 207,000 tons. The number of bidders was 131, which was the highest number since 2011 for the first time. On the other hand, the number of successful bidders was 30, which seems to have been lower than expected. The wholesale price of new rice for the 2020 production has fallen for the first time in six years, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries seems to have expected that the supply and demand of the 2021 production may loosen. It seems that bidding for rice stocked by the government, whose price will be decided early, will be strong again if there is a strong view that the price will drop this fall. The first bid for 2021 rice produced by the government was held on January 26th. The planned purchase quantity is 207,000 t, which is the same as the rice produced in 2020, but there are some changes. One is that the minimum retail application quantity has been raised from 10t to 100 t as a purchase requirement (until the second round on February 16, 2021). In addition, it seems that the quantity of so-called B category, which is purchased using a grain discriminator, has increased five times from 500 t to 2500 t. The priority quota for each prefecture is about 185,314 t, and the general quota is about 21,686 t. It seems that there were many frames for each production area. Regarding rice stockpiled by the government, due to a shortage of warehouses for rice produced in 2020, some successful tenderers had to bring rice produced in their own prefecture to a distant warehouse. In preparation for annual rice production, tent warehouses are being built in each production area, where the main food rice is quickly inspected and shipped to the consumption area, and the company is moving to secure storage space for government-stocked rice in the sales warehouse of the production area. It seems that there was also. Well, there was some movement this year, but it's more attention, and next year it's spotlight.

Amanatsu is a special product that has begun to be cultivated in the Ashikita region of Kumamoto prefecture, and boasts the highest production in Japan. Every year around December, the mountains turn bright yellow, and when the New Year is over, it seems that the harvest will start all at once in the cold. The former Sashiki Tunnel, which connects Tanoura Town and Ashikita Town with a tunnel located in the center of Yatsushiro City and Minamata City, started construction in 1901 and was completed in 1903. With a total length of about 433.5, a width of about 5.5 m, and a central height of about 4.4 m, it was the sixth longest in Japan at that time and the second longest in Kyushu, and it seems that it was an important road tunnel from a historical point of view. Stone pilasters, band stones, and brick portals were constructed on the left and right sides of the wellhead. The bricks are stacked in France, the arch inside the tunnel is the longitudinal stack of bricks, and the side walls are the British stack. The tunnel is about 15 minutes from the Ashikita interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. It is a brick tunnel and was designated as a registered tangible cultural property on August 21, 2002. It is designated as a registered tangible cultural property. During the construction of this tunnel, it seems that a cave-in accident occurred in the past and several people were killed. After that, the old Sashiki tunnel was opened safely. However, it becomes a psychic spot where ghost sightings and mysterious accidents occur frequently. The main reason for this is that it may be due to a psychic disorder that has been transmitted to me. It seems that a mysterious phenomenon is occurring in this tunnel with a high probability. Now that the new Sashiki tunnel has been built, it seems that few people use the old tunnel, but many people still visit for the purpose of trying their luck. Moreover, it seems that you have to be careful when driving because the road is narrow. In addition, it seems that there was a tendency to make the old Sashiki tunnel the final destination of life in search of a place to hang himself and die, including self-immolation in the heart of parents and children. If the specter and the spirit of a dead person walk, they must have been worshiped in the sense of a traveler's guardian deity (traveller) long before we were born. とろりと白く膏を流した葦北の海の向ふには, 今沈む夕日を銜んで紫は濃く碧は薄く幾重にも重なり, 並ぶ凸凹の形面白い天草の島山. 登場の地の標柱, 1913. 9/30: 午後 徳冨蘆花 【死の陰に】Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy（露）の What to do? は, 半分讀みかけて抛(はふ)り出してあつた. 決して閑却(かんきやく)する譯でも, 蔑視(べつし)する譯でもない. 否彼翁と自分の間はあまりに肖(に)て居る. 讀む要はないまでに肖て居る. 讀まなくてもよいが, 顏は見たい。【小説 冨士】 第四卷 徳冨蘆花

Trademark registration means registering the naming and logo attached to products and services with the Japan Patent Office, which is an external agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. It seems that not only the product naming and logo but also the company name may be registered as a trademark. When you apply for trademark registration with the Japan Patent Office, an examination will be conducted as to whether or not the trademark registration can be approved. If, as a result of the examination, it is determined that the trademark registration may be permitted, the trademark will be registered by paying the registration fee to the Japan Patent Office. If it deserves approval, the trademark right will be granted to the applicant who applied for trademark registration. The applicant is a trademark owner in the sense that he / she has the trademark right. In addition, the trademark right is the right to use the registered trademark exclusively for the goods and services specified in advance. A third party who is not the trademark owner may not use a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services. If a third party who does not have any rights uses a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services, the trademark rights will be infringed. In addition, if a third party infringes the trademark right, the trademark owner may file a claim for damages or an injunction against the third party in court. For example, for trademark infringement acts, as relief by civil proceedings in court, seeking injunction of infringement acts, claiming damages, claiming return of unjust enrichment, for credit recovery It is possible to request measures, etc. Apart from this, if it is a criminal case, criminal penalties may be applied as a result of the trial. The injunction request has the following injunctions against trademark infringement (Article 36 of the Trademark Law). Requests for infringement to stop the act, requests for prevention of infringement for those who may infringe, disposal of the infringing material, removal of equipment used for infringing, and other infringement Request for measures necessary for prevention. Of these, 3 can only be billed with 1 or 2. Also, when requesting an injunction, it is not a requirement that the infringer have intentional or negligent infringement. Regarding 3, if the infringer uses a registered trademark or a trademark similar to it only for the product tag, the question is whether it is possible to request the disposal of the removed product, but the product and the tag are Regardless of the circumstances that make it inseparable and inseparable, if the product itself does not have a trademark at all and can be easily separated, even the product with the tag removed is requested to be discarded. It's difficult. If trademark infringement has already become a reality and there is an urgent need to do so, such as when there is a possibility of significant damage if left unchecked, a provisional disposition will be given to the court to suspend the infringement. It is possible to file a petition. A claim for damages can be made against a person who manufactures, sells, or imports a counterfeit product that infringes a trademark right. In order to claim damages, it is necessary to prove many facts, but it is often difficult to prove the facts, so the law provides a calculation rule for the amount of damages (Article 38 of the Trademark Law). In addition, regarding the intentional or negligence of the infringer, which is necessary as a precondition for claiming damages, it is presumed that there was negligence in the act of infringement (Trademark Law, Article 39, Patent Law, Article 103). It facilitates claims for damages against infringers. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 1 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law stipulates the method for calculating the amount of damages based on the recognition of lost profits. In cases where counterfeit products are sold, trademark owners, etc. are within the range of their own ability to use, etc. (1) Lost profits due to a decrease in sales volume, and in the part beyond the range of ability to use, etc. (2) Lost profits due to loss of licensing opportunities are recognized. Based on this idea, this provision refers to the amount of profit per unit quantity (generally, so-called marginal profit) of a product that the trademark owner, etc. could have sold without infringement. The amount obtained by multiplying. By the quantity of the counterfeit goods transferred by the infringer according to the ability of the trademark owner, etc. (referred to as the “use-appropriate quantity”) (loss margin of (1)) And, if a quantity of counterfeit products exceeding the quantity suitable for use is transferred, the license equivalent amount (lossy profit of (2)) for this quantity can be calculated and the total can be used as the damage amount. There is. However, if there are circumstances in which the trademark owner, etc. cannot sell all or part of the transferred quantity, the quantity corresponding to the circumstances (referred to as the “specified quantity”) is the calculation of lost profits in (1). It is deducted from the quantity that is the basis of (2) and is used as the basis for the calculation of lost profits. This “circumstances where it cannot be sold” is, for example, recognized that the infringer's sales are mainly due to the infringer's own sales efforts, and that all demand for counterfeit products goes to genuine products due to differences in quality and price. It cannot be done, the original trademark is used in addition to the trademark similar to the counterfeit product, and the consumer purchased it because it is an infringer's product, the existence of competing products and their influence, and the trademark is a counterfeit product. It is planned that the infringer will claim and prove it because it contributes only to a part of the total added value of. In addition, if the trademark contributes only to a part of the total added value of the counterfeit product, or if it is not recognized that the trademark owner, etc. could grant the license to the infringer (No. 2 parentheses in the same paragraph). As a result, the amount of damage in item 2 may not be recognized. In certifying the amount equivalent to the license in Item 2, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). “Damage amount” = (“Infringer's transfer quantity within the limit of use-appropriate quantity”- “Specific quantity”) x “Profit per unit of right holder” + “Quantity exceeding use-appropriate quantity or specific quantity” License equivalent amount * If it is not recognized that the trademark owner has granted the license to the infringer, the damage amount will not be recognized. 2) Provisions for calculating the amount of compensation for damages Part 2 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law states that when an infringer is benefiting from an infringing act, the profit is It stipulates that the amount is estimated as the damage amount of the right holder as it is. In order to calculate the damage according to the same paragraph, it is necessary that there is a situation that profit would have been obtained if there had been no trademark infringement by the infringer. In addition, the profit gained “by the act of infringement” is limited to the portion (the portion that contributed) that the trademark contributed to the sales of the counterfeit product. Therefore, the ratio of the contributed portion (contribution rate) may be taken into consideration when calculating the amount of compensation for damages. “Damage amount” * = “Profit gained by infringer” * Contribution rate affects the calculation of damage compensation amount. Provisions for calculating damages No. 3 (Relief under Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law states that even if the infringer did not benefit from the infringing act, or something. It stipulates that even if the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the same Article cannot be applied for some reason, the infringer can be claimed for damages equivalent to the license fee. Paragraph 3 of the same Article is considered to be a statutory provision for the minimum amount of damage. Therefore, it may be realistic to make a claim based on this section due to the difficulty of proof. In addition, when certifying the amount equivalent to the license, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). However, if the infringer proves that the use of a mark similar to a registered trademark did not contribute to attracting customers at all, it may be considered that no damage has occurred. “Damage amount” = “License equivalent amount” Example: “Transfer quantity of infringer" × “License equivalent amount per unit of right holder” “Sales of infringer” × “License fee rate” there is a possibility. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 4 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law): Under the “TPP Agreement”, the introduction of a statutory damages system for trademark rights or an additional damages system is required for unauthorized use of trademarks. There is. Along with this, Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law stipulates that the amount equivalent to the cost normally required for acquiring and maintaining a trademark right can be the amount of damage suffered by the trademark owner, etc. There is. The scope of unauthorized use of a trademark under the “TPP agreement” is to mutually change the display of the trademark, hiragana: japanese cursive characters, katakana, and romaji: latin alphabet characters consisting of the same characters with only the typeface changed, and the same names and ideas. This is the case when a trademark that causes the above, a trademark that consists of figures that are equated in appearance, or any other trademark that is recognized as the same as the registered trademark is used. Unjust enrichment claim: If a trademark right is infringed, it may be possible to exercise the unjust enrichment claim. Request for Credit Restoration Measures: For a person who has damaged the business credit of the trademark owner, the court may order the measures to restore the credit at the request of the trademark owner (Article 39 of the Trademark Law). , Article 106 of the Patent Law). Specifically, if it can be evaluated that the infringer's inferior goods have damaged the business trust of the trademark owner, measures such as posting an apology advertisement can be requested. Pursuit of criminal liability: A person who infringes a trademark right is punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than 10 million yen, so if the trademark right is infringed, the pursuit of criminal liability can be considered. (Article 78 of the Trademark Law). In addition, imprisonment and fines can be imposed (both are imposed). For corporations, there are so-called punishment provisions that, in addition to the punishment of the performer, a fine will be imposed on the corporation that is the business entity if the infringement is committed in relation to the business (trademark). Law Article 82). From the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan Patent Office website, as of April 2021. In other words, requesting other companies that have used their registered trademarks to compensate for damages caused by infringement of trademark rights, or to stop selling products or services that use the trademarks. Can be done. Conversely, if you infringe the trademark rights of another company, the trademark owner will request you to compensate for the damages or stop selling products or services that use the trademark. To put it simply, trademark registration means registering a name or logo attached to a product or service so that only the company can use the name or logo. Is there a lot of disadvantages such as pay attention to public opinion? It may take nearly a year from trademark registration application to acquisition of rights in recent years. However, if certain conditions are met, it seems that it can be shortened to about 3 months by requesting an accelerated examination. It costs money to acquire and renew the rights. Depending on the conditions at the time of filing, it often costs a little less than 100,000 yen to 100,000 yen from application to registration.

Investigate the characteristics of kawano citrus natsudaidai and seedlings in terms of both tree vigor and appearance - Kumamoto Fruit Tree Experiment Station.

It is said that the original citrus summer citrus was sown with fruit seeds that had drifted to the coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture during the Edo period. From that summer tangerine, Amanatsu was discovered in 1935 as a sport in an orchard in Oita prefecture. The shape does not seem to be much different from that of Natsudaidai, but it is characterized by its quicker removal of acid and stronger sweetness than Natsudaidai.

It seems that the staff of the Taura Citrus Association will go on a business trip and select fruits from April. From around May, it seems that Nagano (produced in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture) storage Amanatsu is on sale.
