Protecting brands and trademarks for a restaurant chain

Sushi Train Australia Pty Ltd (Sushi Train) brings the passion for Japanese cuisine and unique dining concepts together for everyone to enjoy. The restaurant was founded by Bob Jones, who brought the “Rotation Sushi Bar System,” a unique original concept of picking fresh sushi moving along the conveyer belt from Japanese food culture to Australia in 1993. Today this Queensland-based company has almost 50 “Sushi Train” restaurants in Australia and New Zealand.
