"PATENT INFORMATION FAIR AND CONFERENCE" is the largest IP exhibition in Japan, gathering systems and information useful for IP strategies that are necessary and important for research and technology development, acquisition of rights, and commercialization. The fair has been held for more than 40 years since 1981.
In the last show, 141 companies and the event was a great success, with more than 13,000 visitors, including intellectual property and R&D departments of companies and research institutions, as well as intellectual property experts, actively engaged in business negotiations and information exchanges. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the exhibiting companies who supported the objectives of the exhibition.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the exhibitors, as well as to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Japan Patent Office, and other related organizations for their support.

We will change the name of the exhibition from 2024, and add designs and trademarks to the existing patent/utility model-centered fair to cover information on all aspects of intellectual property.
We have enhanced the scale and content of the fair by adding designs and trademarks to the existing fair, which was focused on patents and utility models. We are committed to providing you with the useful information we have accumulated over the years, and will continue to do so. We also provide and disseminate useful information on IP strategies that are necessary and important for research and technology development, acquisition of rights, and commercialization, all in one place.
We will also provide the latest information at the same time through seminars, conferences, and lectures.
We sincerely hope that all interested parties will consider actively participating in the exhibition.
