At PtBio, we are pleased to welcome Masamitsu Taniai, a current patent examiner from the Japan Patent Office, who has joined us as an intern through a public-private exchange program.

On this occasion, Keisuke Okuhara, CEO of PtBio, and Rumiko Shimabara, Director of Business Development / IP Strategy Designer and a registered patent attorney, joined Mr. Taniai for a discussion on intellectual property strategies for university-originated startups.
From the perspectives of management, practice, and government, the conversation delved deeply into the true essence of intellectual property.
