Research Topics
Patent strategies of medical industries, Management of Intellectual Property of Biotech Companies, Public-Private Partnership
Overview of the research
　We study on intellectual property strategy, especially patent strategy in drug discovery. For example, we have clarified correlation between exit of biotech companies in US and potency of patent creation, and now investigate factors affecting patent creativity from perspective of alliance etc.
We also study about public-private partnership in life science area.

Research Areas
