Abstract
Due to the industrial revolution by the development of information technology that started in the late '90s, standardization of manufacturing technology has spread and as a result, the number of counterfeits has been increasing rapidly. The number of counterfeits made in China is particularly great and Japanese companies have been affected by them a lot. It is indispensable to acquire the intellectual property strategy to cope with it. On the other hand, China also has strengthened the protection of intellectual property rights. It is urgent for Japan to train world class human resources with the expertise in intellectual property rights.
