The internship program is very important for our students to experience the actual practicing in the IP field. Our internships are available both in Japan and overseas in patent law firms or private companies. The overseas internship program which is useful for our students to enhance their global mind is possible in U.S., Europe and Asia with the fee assisted by OIT.Our School provides many opportunities for students to interact with people in the world. For example, we send our selected students to the summer IP institute at the CASRIP (Center for Advanced Study and Research on Innovation Policy at the University of Washington) with expenses assisted by OIT. Many of our students enjoy collaborations using English with the foreign researchers invited by JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) as well as WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) staying with us on a long-term basis, which results in advancing students' international mind.Our School offers the following 4 Study and 2 Research Courses in which all the lectures are given in English by experienced professors of our graduate school and other universities as well as lawyers and other IP experts from industry, including US attorneys and Japanese patent attorneys.Basics of Japanese Legal System, Basics of Japanese IP laws, Japanese Patent Law, Japanese Design Law, Japanese Trademark Law, Japanese Copyright Law, Protection of Trade Secrets & Unfair Competition Prevention Law in Japan, Introduction to Asian IP Laws, etc.Basics of IP and Business, IP and Economics, Evaluation of IP, Patent Information Search, Patent Practices in Japan, Trademark Practices in Japan, IP License and Contracts, Risk Assessments of Patents, Anti-counterfeiting Measures, International IP Issues, etc.Introduction to US Judicial System, Introduction to US Patent Law, IP Strategy of Japanese Companies, Introduction to Japanese Patent Law, Patent Prosecution Practice, Patent Claim Drafting Practice, International IP License, Presentation Contest by participants, etc.IP Strategies, Industry-Academia Collaboration, Technical Standard and IP, IP Management, IP-related Industrial Associations, IP-related Policies of Japanese Government, IP Activities of Japanese companies, etc.Research on International IP law issues relating to patents, trademarks, designs, copy rights, and international business issues relating to IP management, IP strategy, IP licensing.5 weeks starting early May (15 classes x 90 minutes)5 weeks starting early May (15 classes x 90 minutes)1 week intensive course in the last week of August (22.5 hours)5 weeks starting late September (15 classes x 90 minutes)3 months starting early May for Intellectual Research I3 months starting late September for Intellectual Research IICourse TitleIntellectual Property Studies IIntellectual Property Studies IIIntellectual Property Studies (Summer Intensive)Intellectual Property Studies IIIIntellectual Research I and IIContentsTime / Period11OIT 2022-2023JICA ResearchersIP practical education with advanced skillsThe rich curriculum covering all the necessary fields for IP professionals includes, as shown in the chart, the four major areas with 60 subjects; the IP Legal Platform Area, the Innovation Area, the IP Business Area and the IP Global Area.

We are accepting many overseas students and assisting them with special care.For international students (Language used, Distance Learning, etc.)Most of the lectures are provided in Japanese, so that international students can study not only intellectual property issues but also Japanese language as such. Some of the subjects, however, are available in English so that an English-speaking student can get a certain number of credits. For international students who can stay only a part of the 2-year period in Japan, the distance learning is available for the rest of the period. For such students, lectures are provided via Internet. International students can join the lecture, staying in his/her home country. Unlike other Japanese school, international students may enroll in our school in September in addition to April that is normal enrolment season in Japan.Strong support for acquiring a national patent attorney licenseStudents having graduated from our School with credits for certain subjects may apply for exemption of certain subjects from the first-step examination of the National Patent Attorney (benrishi.) Furthermore, students having written a thesis in a specific legal field may apply for a partial exemption from the second step of the examination. Each year, a number of our students have successfully obtained these exemptions and brought forward the final passing for the patent attorney qualification.
