Abstract
We have supported training in intellectual property information education for Yamaguchi University since April in 2004 based on the framework agreement between the university and Ube Industries Ltd. The aims of the support program are to promote uses of end-user oriented patent information retrieval system (NRI Cyber Patent Desk) and Japan Patent Office IPDL, and to train students in instructors for patent information search in the university. The course hours were 6 hours (3 times of 2 hours per session) in 2004 and 2005. The content of the course including lecture and practice in those two years was already reported. We increased course hours as requested by students to 9 hours (3 times of 3 hours per session) in 2006. Details of the course in 2006 and results of student questionnaire are reported in this article.
