basic information
**[Lecture Summary]** Currently, the world is becoming divided between countries that provide intellectual resources and those that offer cheap labor, and Japan must position itself as a provider of intellectual resources to survive. However, the utilization of patents necessary for this is not sufficient. For Japan, the software industry, which is the most important knowledge industry, faces significant challenges regarding patent utilization. In this seminar, we will explain the basics of software patents and how to utilize them. **[Course Objectives]** I feel that developers often lack a basic understanding of the concept of patent rights and their scope. (This is not unique to software patents.) Therefore, I would like to first explain how the scope of patent rights is determined, specifically, to what extent selling similar products constitutes infringement, whether selling just a component can lead to infringement, and other legal fundamentals. By understanding this, participants will be able to assess whether the systems they are about to develop might infringe on other companies' patents, how to modify their systems to avoid infringing on others' patents, and whether they can pursue other companies for infringement if they are implementing similar systems that violate their own patents.
