The Headquarters of the Academic-Industrial Alliance and Intellectual Properties shares the achievements of our unique research primarily in occupational medicine and occupational health with societies inside and outside Japan as well as in the local community, thereby stimulating more education and research activities, employing external funds raised through the rights and academic-industrial alliance projects.
The Headquarters are provided with an Invention Committee and a Conflict of Interest Committee to improve evaluations and assessments regarding the acquisition of patents and to properly manage issues concerning conflicts of interest caused by the academic-industrial alliance. The Center also serves as a bridge between the university and society. It promotes research collaborations in medical technology and facilitates the transfer of technology. This enhances the societal value of the university's intellectual property and promotes the development and adoption of new technologies in collaboration with industry partners.
