Issue

Untapped Potential of Intellectual Property

Japan secures over 300,000 patents annually, ranking third globally after China and the United States. However, nearly half of these patents remain unused in business and fail to generate revenue. Due to the complex and specialized nature of intellectual property, as well as limited visibility, it is challenging to generate effective business ideas for their utilization.

By harnessing generative AI, it creates a "quantity ensures quality" environment. This collaboration between humans and AI helps uncover new needs, potential value, and innovative applications, leading to ideas for future services, untapped markets, and unexpected uses.
