Overview
Japan files more patents per GDP than any major economy, underpinned by the Japan Patent Office — one of the world most efficient patent authorities — and strict trade-secret law. This programme examines the full IP ecosystem: patent strategy, design rights, trade marks, trade secrets, and employee-invention compensation rules, with comparative analysis of Gulf IP frameworks and recommendations for strengthening knowledge-economy foundations.
Program Objectives
- Understand Japan IP ecosystem and the strategic role of patents and trade secrets.

- Design an IP strategy for an R&D-intensive organisation.
