Message from the Dean
Dean of the Graduate School of Intellectual Property/Dean of the Faculty of Intellectual Property
Tatsushi Gocho
Groundbreaking inventions and know-how that are the fruits of research and development, product designs that captivate consumers, strong brand images, popular software and content - all of these are the sources of a company's competitiveness. The intellectual property system is a weapon that legally protects these sources of competitiveness both domestically and internationally and enables businesses to make the most of them on a global scale.
Society, especially the industrial sector, is seeking experts with a thorough understanding of intellectual property in order to protect, nurture and utilize the source of its competitiveness, but such experts are still few in number. In order to meet this societal demand, our graduate school aims to nurture "experts who can use intellectual property effectively in the business world."
The field of intellectual property is often thought of as a specialized and narrow field. However, in reality, it is a "complex field" that requires knowledge and skills across a wide range of fields, including law and its practice, technology, international relations, and business. For this reason, the capabilities required by companies and other organizations are also diverse, and even when we say "intellectual property experts," many different types of human resources are needed.
In this graduate school, we define four types of intellectual property professionals: 1) "Innovation Support Talent", 2) "Global Intellectual Property Talent", 3) "Intellectual Property Management Talent", and 4) "All-Round Intellectual Property Talent". These are the types of talent that Japanese industry is strongly seeking. We have developed a curriculum to enable students to acquire the skills to play an active role in the real world as such talent, and we provide education accordingly. Our biggest mission is to send students out into society equipped with the skills to utilize intellectual property in a way that meets the expectations of industry.

Feature Graduate School Features
The purpose of this graduate school
The educational objective of this graduate school is to "educate highly specialized professionals who have the knowledge and skills related to intellectual property necessary to support innovation, as well as legal literacy, an international perspective, and business acumen."
The type of talent we aim to develop
Our graduate school aims to develop "innovation support talent," "global intellectual property talent," "intellectual property management talent," and "all-round intellectual property talent." Of course, it is possible to study in a balanced manner without leaning too much to one area and become an all-round talent. 弁理士 are one example of innovation support talent, but there is also a growing trend to differentiate oneself by acquiring knowledge in other areas.
Educational content that meets diverse needs
The field of intellectual property is often thought of as a narrow, specialized world, but in reality it is a broader world than you might expect, touching on a variety of elements including technology, design, branding, content, law, business, and global issues.
The main tasks in the intellectual property field in the industrial world are legal tasks, innovation support tasks, international relations tasks, and strategic planning tasks. In reality, intellectual property tasks are not run by one person who can handle all four of the above main tasks, but are run through an organizational division of labor. In other words, each person demonstrates their strengths in their areas of expertise, while their weaknesses are covered by the organizational strengths. Therefore, the type of knowledge and skills required varies greatly depending on the workplace, post, and specific work content of the person.
Therefore, the type and level of knowledge and skills that students want to acquire will vary depending on their current situation and future aspirations. Some students want to acquire a balanced range of knowledge and skills related to the four main tasks mentioned above, while others want to focus on a specific area. Some students place importance on the legal knowledge required for the 弁理士 examination, while others place importance on innovation support skills or knowledge of international and business fields.
Therefore, in order to meet the diverse needs of prospective students, our graduate school offers a wide variety of course subjects. The total number of course subjects is approximately 60. This allows students to choose the most suitable course from the wide range of options according to their future goals and design their course of study to meet their needs.
This is a major strength of our graduate school, which has a comprehensive educational system with many specialized faculty members with diverse intellectual property experience.
