Welcome to our website.
This is the website of Intellectual Property Office, the University of Tokushima.
The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) was established in September 2003 to promote the Industry-Academia-Government collaboration. The purpose of IPO is to promote the cooperative research projects and to manage the intellectual property like patent. The office provides joint research and technical information to the researcher of the university and the engineer of the private company. The office not only seeks to promote joint research between the university and regional industries, but also encourages “campus incubation” to promote the transfer of technology to industry.
