| 論文名 | Trust System Under the Revised Trust Business Law and Intellectual Property Management |
| 著者 | 知的財産マネジメント第1委員会 |
| 抄録 | As a result of the revision of the Trust Business Law, intellectual property has become acceptable as trust property, and it has become possible for entities other than financial institutions to conduct trust business, which was essentially impossible in the past. Furthermore, the revision contains special measures opening the way for intellectual property management within business groups with the use of the trust system. The types of intellectual property management carried out within business groups can be roughly divided into two, the “centralized management system” in which intellectual property rights and management functions are concentrated in the parent company, and the “decentralized management system” in which each member company holds and manages its intellectual property independently. From an interview survey targeting selected companies, we found that companies actually employ various management systems while trying to make up for the disadvantages of the centralized system and the decentralized system, although problems still remain. In this text, we will review the awareness among companies of the use of the trust system for intellectual property management within business groups, and point out that the trust-based management system will be an effective means to realize flexible intellectual property management depending on the actual situation in each business group. We also address the use of the trust system for purposes other than intellectual property management within business groups. |
