Currently, universities and start-up companies, which are driving innovation, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that play an important role in revitalizing regional economies, are seeking human resources with specialized knowledge and skills related to intellectual property. However, the reality is that they are not sufficiently securing and utilizing such human resources.

In order to convey the reality of the intellectual property activities of intellectual property professionals working hard at small and medium-sized enterprises and startups, an industrial property rights specialist from the Japan Patent Office will provide information focusing on the "real situation of intellectual property professionals" at small and medium-sized enterprises and startups, which have not received much attention until now!

Information about this media will be disseminated mainly through note, but also through X (formerly Twitter). Please follow note and X and wait for the release of articles.
