DEL ACUERDO SOBRE LOS ADPIC  
JAPÓN 
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 12 de septiembre de 2022, de la delegación del Japón, se 
distribuye de conformidad con el párrafo 1 de la Decisión relativa a la aplicación del artículo 66.2 del 
Acuerdo sobre los ADPIC (documento IP/C/28 ). 
 
_______________  
 
 
1  INTRODUCCIÓN  
1.  El Gobierno del Japón ha llevado a cabo actividades de cooperación para el desarrollo en muchas 
esferas. Uno de los objetivos más importantes de esas actividades es fomentar y propiciar la 
transferencia de tecnología.  
2.  En opinión del Japón, debería interpretarse que los incentiv os a la transferencia de tecnología 
incluyen diversas medidas, como el apoyo financiero y el apoyo al entorno empresarial, y que el 
apoyo al entorno empresarial mediante el fortalecimiento de la protección de la propiedad intelectual 
es una de las distinta s medidas eficaces para fomentar la transferencia de tecnología por el sector 
privado. Con arreglo a esta interpretación, el Japón ha adoptado numerosas medidas de  
incentivación.  
3.  Con respecto a los incentivos que su país ofrece a las empresas e institucion es de su territorio, 
el Gobierno del Japón suministra en la presente nota información sobre las actividades que se 
describen más abajo. El Gobierno del Japón considera que estas actividades contribuyen a mejorar 
la infraestructura tecnológica en los países  menos adelantados (PMA), lo cual generará una mayor 
transferencia de tecnología.  
2  ACTIVIDADES EMPRENDIDAS POR ORGANIZACIONES DE COOPERACIÓN TÉCNICA  
2.1  JICA  
4.  La Agencia de Cooperación Internacional del Japón (JICA ) presta cooperación técnica en el marco 
de la asistencia oficial para el desarrollo (AOD) mediante la transferencia de conocimientos y 
tecnología. En el ejercicio económico de 2021, el valor de las operaciones de cooperación técnica de 
la JICA ascendió a cerca de JPY  191.800 millones. En el anexo se enumeran algunos ejemplos de las 
actividades de cooperación técnica realizadas con los PMA Miembros.  
5.  En el marco del programa de la Asociación de Investigación de Ciencia y Tecnología para el 
Desarrollo Sosteni ble (SATREPS), la JICA coopera con la Agencia Japonesa de Ciencia y Tecnología 
(JST) y el Organismo de Investigación y Desarrollo Médicos del Japón (AMED), que se encargan de 
la financiación en ese ámbito, para promover proyectos de investigación internaci onal conjunta con 
países en desarrollo, a fin de resolver cuestiones de interés internacional. La JST y el AMED brindan 
apoyo a instituciones de investigación e investigadores japoneses para la realización de actividades 
en el marco de proyectos en el Japó n. La JICA respalda la ejecución de proyectos en los países en 
desarrollo, por ejemplo mediante el envío de expertos (investigadores) japoneses, el suministro de 
equipos y la capacitación de personal, y a través de otros tipos de asistencia relacionada con  los IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/3  
 
- 2 - 
 
  proyectos en países en desarrollo, en el marco de la cooperación técnica de la AOD. En el anexo 
figuran los proyectos de la SATREPS que han beneficiado a PMA Miembros.  
6.  En 2013 la JICA puso en marcha un nuevo programa de asociación entre el sector públ ico y el 
sector privado, denominado Programa de Colaboración con el Sector Privado para la Difusión de la 
Tecnología Japonesa, cuya finalidad es fomentar la comprensión de la tecnología, los conocimientos 
y el sistema de funcionamiento  de las empresas japo nesas y considerar la posibilidad de ponerlas al 
servicio del desarrollo en los países en desarrollo. En el anexo se enumeran algunos ejemplos de 
proyectos ejecutados en el marco de este Programa. Se ha modificado el título del Programa, que 
ahora se denom ina "Encuesta del sector privado sobre la verificación de la actividad empresarial en 
relación con los ODS".  
2.2  AOTS  
7.  La Asociación de Cooperación Técnica y Asociaciones Sostenibles en el Exterior (AOTS) es una 
organización dedicada a potenciar los recursos hu manos en países en desarrollo, que promueve la 
cooperación técnica a través de la formación, el envío de expertos y otros programas . 
2.2.1   Formación técnica  
8.  Se trata de actividades de formación para ingenieros y ejecutivos de países en desarrollo 
invitados al Ja pón en calidad de pasantes. Los programas incluyen formación técnica impartida por 
empresas  del sector privado, lo que permite que los pasantes adquieran conocimientos o aprendan 
técnicas en esferas específicas. En 2021 la AOTS organizó cursos de formación  técnica para 
ingenieros y ejecutivos de Camboya, Myanmar, Nepal y la República Democrática Popular Lao.  
2.2.2   Formación en gestión  
9.  Se trata de programas de formación en el Japón o de seminarios en línea celebrados por 
teleconferencia con el Japón dirigidos a in genieros y ejecutivos de rango alto e intermedio de países 
en desarrollo con el objetivo de mejorar sus competencias y técnicas relacionadas con la gestión de 
empresas o de fábricas mediante la adquisición de conceptos de gestión y la observación de su 
aplicación práctica. En 2021 la AOTS organizó cursos de formación en gestión para ingenieros y 
ejecutivos de Bangladesh, Camboya, Myanmar, Nepal, el Sudán, la República Democrática Popular 
Lao y Tanzanía.  
2.2.3   Programa de envío de expertos  
10.  Los expertos de la AOTS prestan orientación y asesoramiento técnicos a las empresas locales y 
contribuyen a introducir mejoras en esferas como las tecnologías de fabricación y las capacidades 
de gestión empresarial. En 2021 se ofreció orientación técnica sobre diversas cuestiones  a Camboya.  
2.3  JETRO  
2.3.1   Envío de expertos para mejorar el entorno empresarial de los países en desarrollo 
con miras a promover el comercio y las inversiones  
11.  La Organización de Comercio Exterior del Japón (JETRO) destaca expertos que ayudan a los 
países en desarr ollo a establecer las normas e instituciones necesarias para crear un entorno 
empresarial propicio para el comercio y las inversiones. Más concretamente, en respuesta a las 
peticiones de organismos del sector privado y de otras entidades de países en desar rollo, envió a 
expertos en los correspondientes sectores industriales, como las partes de automóviles y los moldes 
y las matrices.  
2.3.2   Asistencia a los países en desarrollo para la ampliación de sus industrias de 
exportación ("Una aldea, un producto")  
12.  La JETRO  ayuda a los países en desarrollo a aumentar sus exportaciones al Japón y alcanzar un 
crecimiento económico autosostenible mediante la promoción de productos procedentes de países 
emergentes. Algunos de los proyectos comprendidos en este programa se llevan  a cabo en el marco 
de la campaña "Una aldea, un producto", una iniciativa destinada a apoyar y promocionar las IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/3  
 
- 3 - 
 
  economías locales de los países en desarrollo, en la que se realizan principalmente actividades de 
exposición y venta de artesanía, accesorios, alimentos elaborados y otros productos similares en el 
mercado "Una aldea, un producto". Los productos proceden de países en desarrollo de Asia, África, 
América Central y el Pacífico y se venden en los aeropuertos internacionales de Narita y Kansai. El 
objetivo de la promoción es presentar las cualidades de esos productos a los clientes japoneses y 
aumentar sus ventas en el mercado japonés.  
3  ACTIVIDADES EN LA ESFERA DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO  
3.1  Financiación para el clima  
13.  En 2015, el Japón anunció la estrategia "Medidas para enfriar el planeta 2.0" ("ACE: Actions for 
Cool Earth 2.0"), que tiene por objeto fomentar la participación de los países en desarrollo en el 
Acuerdo  de París y contribuir a una reducción significativa de los gases de efecto invernadero 
liderando a nivel mundial el impulso al desarrollo de tecnologías innovadoras. Esta estrategia se 
basa en dos pilares: el suministro de asistencia relacionada con el clima en los países en desarrollo, 
financiada con fondo s públicos y privados que se prevé que asciendan aproximadamente 
a JPY 1,3 billones en 2020; y el impulso a la innovación, un factor clave para adoptar medidas contra 
el cambio climático manteniendo al mismo tiempo el crecimiento económico.  
14.  En junio de  2021, con ocasión de la Cumbre del G7 celebrada en Cornualles, el Japón anunció 
que proporcionaría financiación, tanto pública como privada, para hacer frente al cambio climático, 
por un valor total de JPY  6,5 billones durante los siguientes cinco años (2021 a 2025). Asimismo 
anunció una contribución adicional en noviembre de 2021, en el marco de la CP26, de 
hasta  USD 10.000  millones procedentes de fondos públicos y privados entre 2021 y 2025. Respecto 
de la adaptación al cambio climático, el Japón anunció en noviembre de 2021, también en el marco 
de la CP26, que duplicaría su ayuda para contribuir a esa adaptación hasta un total aproximado 
de JPY 1,6 billones, con fondos de los sectores público y privado, entre 2021 y 2025. Estos 
compromisos destacan entre otr os países desarrollados por su considerable cuantía. Con ellos, el 
Japón seguirá liderando los esfuerzos mundiales para hacer frente al cambio climático.  
3.2  JCM 
15.  El Japón ha establecido y viene aplicando el Mecanismo conjunto de créditos (JCM ) tanto para 
hacer una evaluación cuantitativa de la contribución del país a la reducción o la eliminación de las 
emisiones  de gases de efecto invernadero —que se logran mediante la difusión de infraestructuras, 
servicios, sistemas, productos y tecnologías  de descarbonización avanzados, entre otros, y la 
aplicación de medidas de mitigación, sobre todo en países en desarrollo —, como para, de esa 
manera, luchar por cumplir con la contribución determinada a nivel nacional del Japón y otros 
propósitos. Al mes d e julio de 2022, el Japón había concertado asociaciones con 17 países. El Japón 
promueve la formulación de proyectos del JCM mediante diversos sistemas de apoyo y está tratando 
de agilizar la transferencia de tecnologías de descarbonización avanzadas.  
3.3  Otras iniciativas relativas al cambio climático  
16.  Además de a través del mencionado Mecanismo, el Japón fomenta la transferencia de tecnología 
relacionada con el cambio climático mediante su participación activa en iniciativas multilaterales en 
el contexto de la  Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC), 
como el Comité Ejecutivo de Tecnología y el Centro y Red de Tecnología del Clima, a las que el Japón 
contribuyó con una aportación de USD  12,7 millones en el ejercicio económico d e 2020. En octubre 
de 2021, el Japón revisó su "Estrategia a largo plazo en el marco del Acuerdo de París", que recoge 
el concepto básico, la visión estratégica y las medidas para lograr el objetivo de cero emisiones 
netas de gases de efecto invernadero pa ra 2050. La estrategia incluye como uno de sus pilares "la 
promoción de la aplicación internacional liderada por las empresas, y la cooperación internacional". 
En el marco de ese pilar, el Japón promoverá la aplicación internacional de los productos y bien es 
de alto rendimiento ambiental con tecnologías avanzadas japonesas, mediante una mayor mejora 
del medio ambiente, la creación de mercados, el desarrollo de los recursos humanos y el 
establecimiento de plataformas institucionales. Al mismo tiempo, el Japó n liderará el debate en el 
marco de la cooperación internacional y las negociaciones internacionales multilaterales y bilaterales 
proponiendo activamente la elaboración de normas y la formulación de criterios.  IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/3

  17.  En el marco de la aplicación de la estrategia,  en una Reunión de Ministros de Energía de 
la ASEAN+3 celebrada en septiembre de 2019, el Japón propuso la puesta en marcha de la iniciativa 
"Un futuro con energía más limpia para la ASEAN" (CEFIA), en el marco de la ASEAN+3.  La iniciativa 
tiene por objeto  promover un entorno en el que las empresas puedan dar muestras de su liderazgo 
en la difusión de tecnologías de descarbonización dentro de los países de la ASEAN y entre ellos. Se 
espera que la CEFIA contribuya al APAEC (Plan de Acción de Cooperación Ener gética de la ASEAN), 
ponga en práctica su hoja de ruta para facilitar la colaboración y acelere la financiación, 
principalmente mediante la ejecución de sus proyectos emblemáticos. El segundo Foro de los 
Sectores Público y Privado sobre la CEFIA se celebró  en febrero de 2021.  
18.  El Primer Ministro Sr. Suga anunció que el Japón se proponía reducir a cero las emisiones netas 
de gases de efecto invernadero antes de 2050 y lograr una sociedad descarbonizada. En diciembre 
de 2020, el país elaboró la "Estrategia de Crecimiento Verde para Alcanzar la Neutralidad en 
Emisiones de Carbono en 2050" y creó un fondo dotado con JPY  2 billones con el fin de prestar 
asistencia continua a las empresas que asumiesen el reto de emprender innovaciones ambiciosas 
durante el siguien te decenio, así como de establecer una política para la utilización del sistema fiscal. 
La estrategia se actualizó en junio de 2021. El Primer Ministro Sr. Suga anunció que, para el ejercicio 
económico de 2030, el Japón se proponía reducir sus emisiones de  gases de efecto invernadero en 
un 46% con respecto a los niveles del ejercicio económico de 2013, fijando a tal fin un objetivo 
ambicioso en consonancia con el objetivo a largo plazo de reducir a cero las emisiones netas antes 
de 2050. Asimismo, el Japón proseguirá sus arduos esfuerzos por alcanzar el digno objetivo de 
reducir sus emisiones en un 50% (anunciado en la 45ª  reunión de la Oficina Central de Prevención 
del Calentamiento Global y en la Cumbre de Líderes sobre el Clima el 22 de abril de 2021).  
4  ACTIVIDADES EN EL SECTOR FARMACÉUTICO  
19.  Dado que la oferta de medicamentos de buena calidad es uno de los componentes 
fundamentales de la atención sanitaria, es importante establecer en los países en desarrollo un 
sistema que garantice la disponibilidad perman ente de medicamentos eficaces, seguros y de calidad.  
20.  Además, la proliferación de productos médicos de calidad subestándar y falsificados es un gran 
problema de salud pública, pues no solo constituye una amenaza para la salud de los usuarios, sino 
que tambi én da lugar a que se malgasten los recursos públicos y entraña el riesgo de que aparezcan 
cepas de bacterias farmacorresistentes. Por lo tanto, el fortalecimiento de las medidas de lucha 
contra la distribución de ese tipo de productos médicos reviste tambi én suma importancia.  
21.  Habida cuenta de ello, el Gobierno del Japón, a través de la JICA y la Corporación Internacional 
de Servicios Sociales del Japón (JICWELS), lleva a cabo programas de formación destinados a 
desarrollar y reforzar las competencias del pe rsonal especializado que se ocupa de los servicios de 
reglamentación en el sector farmacéutico.  
22.  Además, el Gobierno del Japón, en colaboración con la Asociación de Fabricantes de Productos 
Farmacéuticos del Japón (JPMA), contribuye a la mejora de la reglam entación farmacéutica mediante 
la participación  en conferencias internacionales y se esfuerza por divulgar los resultados de estas en 
los países en desarrollo de la región de Asia.  
5  ACTIVIDADES EN LA ESFERA DE LOS DERECHOS DE PROPIEDAD INTELECTUAL  
23.  En el eje rcicio económico de 2020, la Oficina de Patentes del Japón (OPJ) organizó, en 
colaboración con el Centro de Propiedad Industrial para Asia y el Pacífico (APIC) del Instituto de 
Promoción de las Invenciones y las Innovaciones del Japón (JIPII), 11 cursos de  formación colectiva 
para funcionarios públicos, y 47 participantes procedentes de PMA completaron la formación.  
24.  En el ejercicio económico de 2020, la OPJ organizó asimismo cuatro cursos de formación 
colectiva para el sector privado, y 13 participantes de PMA completaron la formación.  
25.  Además, el Gobierno del Japón ha venido realizando contribuciones voluntarias a la OMPI, que 
es un organismo de las Naciones Unidas encargado de proteger los derechos de propiedad intelectual 
en todo el mundo y de  administrar diversos tratados multilaterales, con miras a la  creación de 
normas relativas a los derechos de propiedad intelectual, entre otras cosas. Los fondos fiduciarios 
del Japón en la OMPI se establecieron gracias a esas contribuciones voluntarias y se utilizan p ara IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/3

  prestar asistencia a los miembros de la OMPI en la Comisión Económica y Social para Asia y el 
Pacífico (CESPAP). Asimismo, en el ejercicio económico de 2008 se establecieron los fondos 
fiduciarios del Japón en la OMPI para África y los PMA con el fin d e promover un  desarrollo económico 
autosostenible mediante la utilización de la propiedad intelectual en la región. Además, desde abril 
de 2019, el Japón ha renovado sus fondos fiduciarios en la  OMPI como fondos mundiales, que se 
utilizan sin limitar las z onas a las que se presta asistencia. Gracias a estas contribuciones voluntarias, 
todos los años se ejecutan diversos proyectos, como la aceptación de pasantes e investigadores en 
materia de derechos de propiedad intelectual, la celebración de simposios,  el envío de funcionarios 
de la OPJ y la prestación de asistencia para la automatización y la modernización de las oficinas de 
propiedad intelectual. En el ejercicio económico de 2021 se organizaron con cargo al Fondo Fiduciario 
del Japón para la Propiedad In dustrial Global ocho programas que atrajeron a más 
de 467 participantes, incluidos los procedentes de PMA.  
26.  Asimismo, la JICA  ofrece varios programas de formación sobre propiedad intelectual, en los que 
invita al Japón a funcionarios públicos de diversos países. El objetivo de esos programas es que los 
participantes adquieran conocimientos generales y básicos a través de confere ncias, debates, 
observación directa, etc., y compartan también sus conocimientos con los participantes de los 
distintos países. Desde 2000 se organizan cursos sobre los derechos de propiedad intelectual, a los 
que han asistido muchos participantes de PMA, como Myanmar, Camboya, Gambia, Uganda y  
Tanzanía.
