Japanese University-Originated Venture Patents 2024

Focusing on patent information as intellectual assets of university-originated ventures.

In recent years, there has been a growing expectation for economic growth through the establishment of venture companies that challenge the creation of new businesses and their development. Among these, university-based ventures that are research and development-oriented and based on research results from universities are particularly anticipated. The key intellectual asset of university-based ventures is their challenging and innovative research outcomes. These ventures secure funding and carry out development by demonstrating their research results and the future business models they are likely to generate. For research and development-oriented university-based ventures, the role of intellectual property in commercialization holds significant importance for the survival of the company. However, it is extremely difficult for university-based ventures to set business strategies and intellectual property strategies on their own and promote business launches. To invigorate innovation across Japan, it is essential to visualize the excellent research outcomes of university-based ventures and create businesses through matching with the new business creation departments of large companies. This document focuses on patent information as a manifestation of the intellectual assets of university-based ventures. It aims to organize and present patent information related to university-based ventures in a way that is easy to understand and user-friendly for those who wish to explore these ventures.
