Counseling on invention

We give counseling on inventions both before and after you develop one. We provide advice on ongoing or future research of yours with which you are aiming at gaining intellectual property rights.
When you have created a technology or material with which you might be able to acquire the intellectual property rights, contact us hopefully before any public announcement.
(*We do not wish to cause too great a limitation on your announcement, so consult us first of all.)

Please contact the Division for Industry-Government-Academia Collaboration (ip-3f@ip.naist.jp) if you have any questions about what a patent is or how to acquire a patent.

Patent application and acquisition of rights

We conduct patent applications and acquisition of rights in cooperation with inventors. When you have created a technology or material with which you might be able to submit a patent application, contact us hopefully before any public announcement. After counseling, we conduct the patent application and rights acquisition for the invention we have succeeded. Fill out and submit the prescribed Notification of Invention.
