It is based in Nakameguro, a district in Meguro Ward in Tokyo, Japan.[1]
The Intellectual Property (IP) High Court was established on 1 April 2005,[2] in order to accelerate and reduce the costs of patent litigation in Japan.[3] The IP High Court hears appeals from district courts in Japan on patent actions and suits against appeal/trial decisions made by the Japan Patent Office (JPO).[2] The IP High Court is also the exclusive court of appeals on issues such as: the rights of authors of a computer program, utility model rights, and integrated circuit layout design protection.[4]
