10. Editor's noteHello, it's Mitty. I'll be editing Enishi again this year so please have a look when you get thechance. In light of our human resource development work reaching its twentieth year, this timewe've chosen to focus on what some of our former trainees are up to right now, as well as onintellectual property education.What comes to mind when you hear the term "human resource development"? There are a number ofconceivable answers, such as "education," "knowledge acquisition," "skill improvement," "goal achievement,""results," and so on, but for me more important than knowledge is broadening one's personal connections.This is especially true with us because of what this office does. The JPO invites a large number of traineesfrom a variety of different countries to come to Japan for training and long-term research. Every year I relishhow lucky I am to be able to take part in the wonderful work we do?in which people from so many differentenvironments come together in the same place not only to share their knowledge of intellectualproperty rights, but also to understand and respect one another's cultures, literally transcending borders towarmly share with each other. In fact, this year will be my tenth year in this office. If I had never come here, Iwould have spent my entire life never knowing about the culture of all these different countries, the warmthof their people's characters, how people see Japan, and how wonderful Japan is. Watching how everyonehas grown through the human resource development carried out by this office, I have learned that there isno limit to human growth. I too want to grow through our work in human resource development and I planto do so, in as many ways and as best I can!Hi, I'm Hiroko Oriyama. In Tokyo, when the rainy season ends in the mid July, summer seasonstarts in full swing.Our first edition of ENISHI for this fiscal year features special contributions from former traineeswho have been promoted to senior positions and from former trainees specializing in patentsin their own countries. Another feature is an exclusive interview with Mr. Oyadomari, a teacher at TokyoChihaya High School who is one of the lecturers for IP Trainer course. He passionately told us about howhe started a task-oriented research class at a commercial high school which later developed into a uniqueIP class at Chihaya High School. He has been devoting himself to making his students learn practical knowledgethrough a variety of real experiences and having fun while they do it. I think this can be applied to anyfield.An article in ENISHI No. 18 incorrectly stated that Ms. Shruti Shah (India) attended the JPO/IPR TrainingCourse for IP Trainers in the period June 15 ? 29, 2016. In fact, she attended the JPO/IPR training course forIP Practicing Lawyers in the period September 24 ? October 12, 2012.We apologize to our readers for this error.Publication of this Magazine is consigned to the Japan Institute for Promoting Invention andInnovation by the Japan Patent Office.[Consigner][Publisher]Japan Patent Office(JPO)Address: 4-3, Kasumigaseki 3-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8915, JapanTelephone/Facsimile: 81-3-3503-4698 / 81-3-3581-0762 (International Cooperation Division)Web site: http://www.jpo.go.jp/torikumi/kokusai/kokusai2/training/index.htmAsia-Pacific Industrial Property Center(APIC),Japan Institute for Promoting Invention and In novation (JIPII)Address : 4-2, Kasumigaseki 3-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-0013, JapanTelephone/Facsimile: 81-3-3503-3026 / 81-3-3503-3239Email: apic-jiii@apic.jiii.or.jpIP Friends Connections August 2018 No.19ENISHI49
