JIPA
Japan Intellectual Property Association (JIPA) assists Japanese companies in leveraging IP effectively to enhance their international industrial competitiveness, and makes various proposals aimed at enabling domestic and overseas IP systems to contribute to industrial development. JIPA has about 1,300 members, most of which are leading Japanese companies.
The patent applications filed by JIPA members account for more than 80% of all the patent applications filed in Japan and around 20% of all the patent applications filed globally. Given its considerable influence, JIPA has set itself the high goal of contributing to sound global industrial development through the use of IP.
As a declaration of our intention to achieve this goal, we have adopted the slogan "Creating IP Vision for the World."
JIPA annually submits around 50 proposals related to the IP policies of various countries. For example, JIPA proposed WIPO GREEN (a mechanism for the transfer of climate control technologies), to WIPO in 2009, who later officially adopted this proposal. JIPA also cooperates with the industrial communities of various countries.
JIPA offers a unique personnel training system whereby the senior employees of one company coach the junior employees of other companies through training and committee activities. Through their business activities, companies make decisions concerning IP based on business trends and other information. The practical skills needed to make such decisions cannot be acquired only through the study of law, but junior employees can learn them from senior employees. This system has been in place since JIPA's establishment in 1938.
