 | The EU-Japan Technology Transfer Helpdesk is a service of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation. The services aim at supporting EU and Japanese companies, universities, research centres and individuals in their steps to search for technologies and understand the mechanics of tech transfer transactions, as well as bridging the knowledge gap about current available technologies from both Japan and the EU. |
 | IAM is universally acknowledged as the world’s leading IP business media platform. It was launched as a magazine in July 2003 to address the need for organisations to maximise the value of their intellectual property and other intangibles, and to examine the strategies they can put in place to do this. IAM now produces a wide range of publications, as well as a weekly email and daily blog. |
 | Founded in March 1998, Sonoda & Kobayashi Intellectual Property was founded with the specific intention of creating a Japanese IP law firm with a global mindset, to foster stress-free communication and to provide exceptional services. We believe that clear communication and transparency are the keys to mutual understanding. By adopting this unique working style, combined with a high expertise of Intellectual Property Law and Technology, Sonoda & Kobayashi has been able to exclusively represent leading global and domestic companies in a wide spectrum of enterprises, and to become one of the most trustworthy firms in Asia for the prosecution and enforcement of intellectual property rights. |
Joint venture established in 1987 by the European Commission (DG GROW) and the Japanese Government (METI) for promoting all forms of industrial, trade and investment cooperation between the EU and Japan.
