授業の概要
/Course outline
In recent years, there is a growing demand for the creation of innovative businesses based on the university's research. University-Business research collaboration, such as collaborative research projects, is one of key approaches to meet the demands. In order to achieve goals of the projects, it is often considered essential to obtain and utilize the intellectual property (IP) rights. In addition, IP management are becoming more important for not only these research projects but any R&D project of new technologies.

In order to actively engage with these research project, the researchers need to be familiar with the IP system, especially patent system because it can protect the technical idea of research.

授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals

In the first half of the course, students of this class can mainly learn overview of IP, and learn how to file patent applications/how to obtain patent rights. In particular, the students can study how to draft an invention proposal based on research results for filing patent applications.

In the last half of the course, the students are able to deepen their understanding of the use of IP, especially in relation to information and communication technology, through group discussions and exercises on some topics.

教科書
/Textbook(s)
In principle, handouts will be distributed in class.
成績評価の方法・基準
/Grading method/criteria
Students will be evaluated on the basis of their contribution to each lecture and discussion (50%) and one report (50%).
履修上の留意点
/Note for course registration
In principle, absence from the class is avoided in order to concentrate on acquiring practical knowledge in a short period of time. If it is truly unavoidable, students will be asked to submit additional reports afterwards, and the results will be reflected in their grades.

授業の概要
/Course outline
As technology of computer science and engineering is changing rapidly, it is very necessary to catch up with hot issues accordingly for students who are carrying out research in this field. For example, artificial intelligence and its application on several domains, IoT technologies, distributed network and security issues, robotics, big data analytics, Bioinformatics, and other research topics in computer science and engineering can be illustrated as emerging topics.
In keeping with this trend, this course deals with survey of current state of the art of hot topics and suggestion of important research issues related to the topics. Free discussions on the contents that have been covered in a course, will fill up possible deficiencies and improve the course with detailed issues among students in the discussion. Topics are decided not only by considering hot research trends based on study fields of GS basically, but by requests from faculties and students. The courses consist of presentation of teaching and discussion with Q&A.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
This course aims to help of giving information and knowledge for students’ research and catching up with fast research changes on computer science and engineering. Also, it can give useful information for some idea on their researches.
Through topics covered in this course, students will obtain information and knowledge on important research issues and figure out current state of the art of some hot topics in computer science and engineering, and can apply them to develop an idea for their researches. Grasp of broad knowledge on the issues can give a good chance toward fusion of the technologies too.
