Human resources development using IP·e-learning by INPIT.

National Center for Industrial Property Information and Training (INPIT) offers e-learning materials, called IPe·e-learning, made based on knowledge, experience and know-how of the Japan Patent Office (JPO). Although the contents of the IP·e-learning are designed mainly for training of JPO staff, the course materials are effective and useful for the people learning intellectual property.
