Message from instructor(s)

I have many experiences regarding IP disputes against Global Electronics and IT companies. IP management in Electronics and IT industries is changing recently. I expect that many students learn the role of IP management through a variety of case studies, and acquire the sense of solving upcoming IP issues in IoT and AI era.
