On October 27, 2020, Kansai University set up the INPIT (Industrial Property Information and Training Institute) Osaka Prefecture General Intellectual Property Support Office as a temporary counter within the Kansai University Innovation Creation Center, a joint research center for industry-academia-government collaboration that also supports entrepreneurship.
This is the first time in Japan that this office has been established within a university with the aim of promoting university-born startups.
