Knowledge of intellectual property is an essential literacy for engineers and researchers. In addition to basic knowledge
of intellectual property such as patents, trade secrets, and designs, which is necessary for those engaged in research, development,
and technology-related work in companies, etc., this course is designed to provide knowledge of intellectual property related
to daily life such as copyrighted works, etc., so that students can make use of this knowledge. The course avoids legal terms
unfamiliar to students of science and engineering as much as possible and incorporates many practical examples from a practical
viewpoint.
When students of science and engineering are involved in the development of new products or the creation of new businesses
in society by utilizing scientific knowledge and technology, it is important to appropriately obtain and enforce rights to
their own achievements and to consider the rights of others. The purpose of this course is to provide students with the basic
knowledge and skills necessary for this purpose.
- To be able to explain the importance of intellectual property management, which plays a role in the relationship between technology and society in the real world.
- To obtain basic knowledge of the intellectual property system and be able to use it in the real world with the assistance of experts.
- Being able to understand various intellectual properties from a bird's eye view and solve day-to-day problems in an appropriate manner.
