2 It is our honor to host the 16th meeting of exchange among Japan, China and Korea in the fields of intellectual property. We are holding this year's trilateral meeting in the city of Nagoya, located in the central part of Japan, famous for the Atsuta Shrine where one of the sacred treasures in Japanese myths is housed. Nagoya boasts a number of leading companies in the automobile, machine, electronic component and other key Japanese industries, and has produced six Nobel Prize winning scientists. After the meeting, you can take part in an excursion to the Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine), one of the oldest shrines in this country. We hope you will enjoy this opportunity to see both the ancient and modern faces of Japan. At the meeting, we will discuss the following three topics: 1. Updates on intellectual property systems in each country 2. Partial designs (Study Question, AIPPI World Congress in Cancun) 3. Updates on standard essential patents (SEPs) The purpose of Topic 1 is to provide updates on IP systems including law amendments in the three countries. We chose Topic 2 because partial designs are treated differently between the three countries: There is demand for the use of partial designs in Japan; there is no system for partial designs in China; and based on a whole design application, a subsequent partial design application may be refused in Korea. We hope to exchange information and discuss this topic. As to Topic 3, we will discuss how SEPs are treated in the three countries. SEPs are becoming increasingly important amid the remarkable development of IoT technology, which leads to a shortening of product life cycles and an increase in the number of rights per product, especially in the telecommunications fields. I look forward to seeing as many people as possible at this annual meeting. I also hope that exchanges among the three countries will be promoted more than ever through the activities in the IP fields, which will contribute to further economic development of these countries.
