I had to look that one up
My hunch is that trademark rights are handled at the league level, so it would depend on how the league's charter is worded. If it says that intellectual property rights are based on US law, then that's what would control. If, on the other hand, it said that those rights are based on the law of each team's location, then it's possible Japanese law would control. My guess is that it's likely the former rather than the latter, but I'd have to know more about how the league is set up.
