Course description
The fruits of technology and other intellectual and creative activities bring affluence to our society and provide opportunities for value creation and profit to companies that utilize these intellectual properties. In technology-based management, the proper handling of intellectual property is essential.
In this course, students learn basic legal matters, the functions of the intellectual property system to protect intellectual property and to disseminate intellectual property information, and basic matters on how to utilize these functions, in order to acquire basic knowledge and develop skills in intellectual property management required in R&D or product manufacturing processes.
In addition to the understanding of the legal system, the lectures aim at acquiring basic practical skills related to effective acquisition of rights, interpretation of the scope of rights, consideration of clauses in contracts based on the law, acquisition and analysis of IP information, strategic use of IP, and so on.
