28. The representative of Japan said that his delegation had submitted follow-up questions within the agreed timeframe but, unfortunately, had not yet received responses. He therefore reserved his right to pose further follow-up questions at the TRIPS Council after receiving responses to the earlier questions. He believed that there might be some regulations, such as the one concerning the protection of well-known marks, that had not yet been notified; if this was the case, he asked China to notify such regulations as soon as possible for the purposes of transparency and review of legislation under the normal TRIPS procedures. Concerning the TRM review, he said that the draft report contained in document JOB(02)/193 was acceptable to his delegation.
