Symposium

The 20th JIPA IP Symposium Program

[Theme] IP Activities in the New Normal - Exploring the Unpredictable Times -
COVID-19 drastically changed our lifestyles in the world, and we enter the new normal era. Although the world's politics and economy are extremely confused, technological progress represented by digital transformation (DX) has not stopped.
At this year's JIPA symposium, we foresee issues related to New Normal's corporate activities and IP activities through panel discussions. Then, by clarifying the anxieties and worries that companies have and sharing the direction of solutions, we would like to open up the new era that is difficult to predict.
In the morning lecture, we invite Mr. Akira Yoshino, who won 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, to give a special lecture on future society.
