President, LES Japan

Licensing Executives Society Japan (LES Japan) is one of the member societies of Licensing Executives Society International (LESI), which is an international organization made up of 32 national/regional societies and has more than 10,000 members. The members consist primarily of people, such as corporate executives, leaders, those who do the actual work, and specialists in the legal field, such as lawyers and patent attorneys, who are involved in the licensing of intellectual properties, including technologies, patents, know-how, trademarks, software, digital contents, and technology transfers and technical cooperation; in addition to experts, such as people from academia and government service who have knowledge in these fields. It is a unique organization found nowhere else, where people having different careers can come under the same roof to interact and network.
