APEC IP Symposium – Innovating IP Exploitation
In recent years, with the progress of globalization and open innovation, the need for the global protection and exploitation of IP rights has been greater more than ever before, and in the APEC region, the importance of making improvements to IP systems is being acknowledged once again.
The Leaders’ Declaration of the 17th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting held last November in Japan referred to the importance of the IP system and the means of exploiting intellectual property as follows: “[We] reiterated the importance of comprehensive and balanced intellectual property (IP) systems that provide for and protect the incentives that encourage creation and innovation and provide the tools for successful management and exploitation of IP rights.”
Taking into account this Leaders’ Declaration, Japan made a proposal at the 30th IPEG (Intellectual Property Rights Expert’s Group) Meeting in March of this year to hold a symposium on the theme of the exploitation of IP rights, so that knowledge concerning the exploitation of IP rights within the APEC region could be shared through open-minded discussions. The proposal was duly approved by the IPEG members.
Ten years have passed since an APEC IP Symposium was held in Japan. The APEC IP Symposium – Innovating IP Exploitation is an example of the positive actions and contributions of Japan in the field of intellectual property in the APEC region. In addition, it is expected that the symposium will be a valuable opportunity for the participants to obtain knowledge of IP systems in the APEC region and take part in an APEC-related event.
In the APEC IP Symposium, the IPEG members and IP experts from the APEC member countries and regions will act as lecturers and moderators and engage in multifaceted and multilayered lectures and discussions on the exploitation of IP rights.
Date: Thursday, September 9, 2010
