Does Japan accept for filing and protection collective trademarks belonging to associations in other WTO Members in circumstances where these associations are "not contrary to the law of their country of origin" but are "not established" or "not constituted according" to Japanese law (Article 7bis(3) Paris Convention in conjunction with Article 2.1 of the TRIPS Agreement)?
