TOKYO, Sept. 8 -- Japan Patent Office issued the following news:
On August 25, 2025,"WIPO Dialogue on IP and SMEs in Asia and the Pacific Region*" was held at the WIPO Singapore Office. I joined the dialogue and had a fruitful discussion with Mr. Daren Tang, Director General of WIPO, and the heads of IP offices, mainly from the Asia-Pacific region, on the fundamental role of IP in enhancing the performance of SMEs and in driving economic growth.
At the dialogue, the JPO team emphasized the necessity of a comprehensive IP ecosystem to promote the effective utilization of IP, as well as the critical role of IP offices in its development. We also introduced the JPO's startup support program, "VC-IPAS**."
We received a lot of positive feedback from the participants, which made me realize once again the importance of continuing these efforts in the future.
The JPO remains committed to international cooperation to ensure that SMEs can leverage IP systems internationally and further expand their businesses!
