JPO Conducted JPO/IPR Training Course on Promoting Public Awareness of IP

The JPO conducted the JPO/IPR Training Course on Promoting Public Awareness of IP from August 15 - 21, 2023. A total of 21 trainees from 16 countries and two organizations participated in the course, which was designed for individuals who are involved with promoting IP public awareness at IP offices and other related organizations.

The purpose of this course is to help examine measures and methods for the efficient and effective promotion of public IP awareness. Through the course, participants examined case studies for initiatives including a wide range of IP public awareness that were conducted in Japan for the benefit of the general public, SMEs, and universities. Trainees were able to share their own experiences and issues while also exchanging views with one another, which enabled them to deepen their understanding of effective measures and methods for promoting IP public awareness.

One trainee commented regarding the course: "I learned a lot about the general aspects of the patent system for SMEs filing in Japan, as well as the experiences of SMEs that utilized the related support measures offered by the JPO."
