Here's the reply I received this morning:
Thanks for your email. Yes we do hold a relationship with Rising Electronics Japan back in our history. We were the sole distributors of Rising Electronics Japan in the late 80s but unfortunately Rising Electronics Japan later announced that the company is winding up all it's business. We obviously were very disappointed by such decision hence we did a lots of effort on advertising RISING brand and we never wanted to let it go. Therefore we hold a discussion with Rising Electronics Japan in order to take the registration right of "RISING" brand & allowing us to use it. Rising Japan first disagreed with our request but after all the negotiation they to agreed to give us registration rights but they reserved all the right for the Japanese market as "RISING" brand play a fine part in the Japanese history.
We indeed have similar & even wider range of product as compare to Rising Japan. You may visit our website:
