What is RCLIP?
Research Center for the Legal System of Intellectual Property
 In order to engage in policy-making discussion up front, it is essential to have academic policy proposals that are based on substantial research and analysis, in addition to verifying policy proposals that are made by government bureaucrats. The RCLIP establishes an organization to collect information and deliver an excellent level of policy proposals (creating legal system), which cannot be passed, from the academic perspective.

Waseda Institute for Corporation Law and Society

Big News!!

−Selected as the Global COE Program It is our pleasure to announce that the projects of “Waseda Institute for Corporation Law and Society”, which had been funded as the "21st Century COE(Center of Excellence) Program" by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), was formally selected as the “Global COE Program” which is an extended program by MEXT. The title of our program is “Creating New Corporate Legal Systems for Mature Civil Society”. Intellectual Property research in the program is expected to play an even-greater role.
The Research Center for the Legal System of Intellectual Property Law, RCLIP, aims to include European nations such as Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK in the IP Precedents Database project which has been developed for Asian nations including India. In addition, using strong networks with academics and practitioners, which are established through the DB project, the RCLIP aims to create Intellectual Property Law System such as a common IP enforcement that can overcome the differences between “Asia and Europe”, “Advanced countries and developing countries”, and “Continental law and common law”. To accomplish these aims, we actively conduct joint researches as well as PR activities. We strongly hope further attention and support for our projects.
