In order to promote intellectual property education at a junior college of arts, in this paper, we investigated the educational effect of the intellectual property courses offered at Yamaguchi College of Arts in 2020. The students got high scores in copyright, design right, trademark right. They were interested in those subjects because they often design trademarks and advertisement posters and also play music. On the other hand, they got low scores in patent right because they are not familiar with them. In addition, this study suggests the possibility for non-experts to conduct an effective intellectual property education with a help from Yamaguchi University (certified by MEXT as a Joint Usage Center of IP education).
