The intellectual contribution has been an important position in the Japanese economic strategy. The significance of intellectual property has been reaffirmed and the education based on intellectual property has been reinforced in each grade. However, the passive education in which students learn the concept and mechanism of intellectual property is the mainstream curriculum and each organization has its curriculum independently. The active education with the cooperation of several organizations is necessary to form a solid foundation of creative human resources. In this study self-motivating education using intellectual property right (patent contest) has been developed and it was demonstrated that the education in which students create their own inventions complied with both company needs and student's interests.
