OF THE TRIPS AGREEMENT  
JAPAN 
The following communication, dated 14 September 2021 , from Japan , is being  circulated pursuant 
to paragraph 1 of the Decision on Implementation of Article 66.2 of the TRIPS Agreement ( document 
IP/C/28).  
 
_______________  
 
 
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.  The Government of Japan has been conducting development cooperation activities in many fields. 
One of the most important objectives of these cooperation activities is to promote and encourage 
the transfer of technology. Japan understands that incentives for technology transfer should be 
interpreted to include a  variety of measures such as financial support and business environment 
support, and that supporting the business environment by strengthening intellectual property 
protection is one of several effective measures to promote technology transfer by private sectors. 
Based on this understanding, Ja pan has provided many incentive measures.  
2.  With regard to the incentives provided by Japan to enterprises and institutions in Japan, 
the Government of Japan would like to report on the following activities. The Government of Japan 
believes that the following activities contribute to raising levels of technological infrastructure in 
least developed countries (LDCs), which will bring about further technology transfer.   
2  ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY TECHNICAL COOPERATION ORGANIZATIONS  
2.1   JICA  
3.  Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provides technical cooperation through ODA, 
through which knowledge and technologies are transferred. The scale of operations for technical 
cooperation through JICA amounts to approximately JPY 131 billion for FY2020. Some examples of 
technical cooperation for LDC Members are listed in the Annex.  
4.  Under the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) 
programme, JICA collaborates with Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and Japan Agency 
for Medical Research and Development ( AMED), as the funding agencies for science and technology, 
to promote international joint research projects with developing countries, aimed at resolving global 
issues. JST/AMED support Japanese research institutions/researchers for the project activities in 
Japan.  JICA supports project implementation  in developing countries, such as dispatching Japanese 
experts (researchers), providing equipment and training of personnel,  and other supports related to 
projects in developing countries  in frameworks of ODA t echnical cooperation. SATREPS projects 
implemented with LDC members are listed in the Annex.  
5.  In 2013, JICA launched a new public -private partnership programme, 'Collaboration Programme 
with the Private Sector for Disseminating Japanese Technology', which a ims to promote 
understanding of Japanese enterprises' technology, knowledge and system and to explore the 
possibility of using them for the development of developing countries. Some examples of projects IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/2  
 
- 2 - 
 
  implemented under this programme are listed in  the An nex. The programme title was revised into 
'SDGs Business Verification Survey with Private Sector'.  
2.2   AOTS  
6.  The Association for Overseas Technical Cooperation and Sustainable Partnerships (AOTS)  is an 
organization for human resources development in developing  countries to promote technical 
cooperation through training, expert dispatch and other programmes.  
2.2.1 Technical Training  
7.  Training is  conducted for engineers and managers invited to Japan from developing countries as 
trainees.  Its programmes include pra ctical trainings implemented by private companies, which allows 
trainees to acquire skills and techniques in specific fields. In 2020, AOTS provided technical training 
courses for engineers and managers of  Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and  Nepal.  
2.2.2   Management Training  
8.  Training programmes in Japan or the online seminars connected by teleconference system with 
Japan are conducted for the engineers  along with middle and top managers etc.  from developing 
countries to enhance their business or factory man agement skills and techniques through 
understanding management concepts and observing actual examples of their usage. In 2020, AOTS 
provided management training courses for the engineers and managers of Bangladesh, Myanmar, 
Nepal, Sudan and Tanzania.  
2.2.3   Exper t Dispatch Programme  
9.  AOTS  experts provide technical guidance and advice to local companies and contribute to 
improvements in areas such as manufacturing technologies and business management skills. In 
2020, technical guidance on various issues was offered  to Cambodia.  
2.3   JETRO  
2.3.1   Dispatching Experts to Improve the Business Environment of Developing Countries 
in order to Promote Trade and Investment  
10.  Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is engaged in dispatching experts to assist 
developing countries in the establishment of various rules and institutions necessary to create a 
business environment conducive to trade and investment. More specifically, in response to requests 
of private sectors and other entities from developing countries, experts were dispatche d in respective 
industry fields such as automotive parts and molds & dies.  
2.3.2   Supporting Developing Countries to Expand Their Exports Industries (OVOP)  
11.  JETRO helps developing countries to expand their exports to Japan and achieve self -sustainable 
economic gro wth, by promoting products from emerging countries. Some projects are implemented 
as part of 'One Village One Product (OVOP)' campaign, the initiative for supporting and promoting 
local economies in  developing countries.  The core activities of the  campaign  are to exhibit and sell 
craftworks, accessories, processed foods and other such products  at 'OVOP Market'.  These are 
sourced from developing countries in Asia, Africa, Central America and the Pacific and are sold at 
Narita and Kansai International Airport s. This promotion will be carried out to introduce the merits 
of these products to Japanese customers and to expand sales in the Japanese market.  
3  ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD OF CLIMATE CHANGE  
3.1   Climate  Finance  
12.  In 2015, Japan announced 'ACE: Actions for Cool Ear th 2.0', which aims to encourage 
developing countries' participation in the Paris Agreement, and to contribute to significant reduction 
of GHG emissions by leading the world in further reinforcing development of innovative technologies. IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/2  
 
- 3 - 
 
  This strategy consi sts of two pillars: the implementation of climate -related assistance to developing 
countries totalling approximately JPY 1.3 trillion from public and private sources in 2020; and 
innovation enhancement, a key to take actions against climate change while ma intaining economic 
growth. And Suga Yoshihide, Prime Minister of Japan, announced in June 2021 at the G7 Cornwall 
Summit that Japan will provide climate finance, both public and private, totalling JPY 6.5 trillion over 
the next five years, from 2021 to 202 5, and that it will further enhance its assistance for adaptation.  
This is the same high level of its previous commitment up to 2020, JPY 1.3 trillion (equivalent to 
approximately USD 11.8 billion) per year.  This commitment stands out as a sizeable amount among 
other developed countries.  Under this commitment, Japan will continue to lead the global effort to 
tackle climate change.  
3.2  JCM 
13.  Japan established and has been implementing the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) in order 
both to quantitatively evaluate contributions of Japan to GHG emission reductions or removals which 
are achieved through the diffusion of leading decarbonizing  technologies, products, systems, 
services, and infrastructure among others as well as implementation of  mitigation actions particularly 
in developing countries, and to use them to achieve Japan's nationally determined contribution and 
for other purposes. As of August 2021, Japan signed this partnership with 17 countries. Japan is 
promoting the formulation o f JCM projects through various supporting schemes, and further 
accelerating the transfer of leading decarbonizing technologies.  
3.3   Other Initiatives relating to Climate Change  
14.  In addition to the aforementioned JCM, Japan promotes technology transfer relating to climate 
change through active participation in multilateral initiatives under the UN Framework Convention 
on Climate Change (UNFCCC), such as the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and Climate 
Technology Center and Network (CTCN)  for which Ja pan has made a contribution of USD 12 million 
as of FY2020 . In June  2019, Japan decided 'Long -term Strategy under the Paris Agreement' which 
proclaims a 'decarbonized society' as the ultimate goal and aims to accomplish it ambitiously as 
early as possible in the second half of this century. The strategy includes 'Business -led Promotion of 
International Application, and International Cooperation' as one of pillars. Under this pillar, Japan 
undertakes, among others, the following activities:  
a. Promotes internat ional application of decarbonizing technologies together with 
policy/institutional support and international rule -making ; 
b. Strengthens development and investment of infrastructure that contributes to reduction 
of CO2 emissions; and  
c. Builds basis for decarbon ized society on global scale.  
15.  As part of the implementation of the strategy, at an ASEAN+3 Ministers on Energy Meeting in 
September 2019, Japan proposed inauguration of Cleaner Energy Future Initiative for ASEAN 
(CEFIA), under the framework of the ASEAN+3.  CEFIA aims at developing an environment in which 
businesses are able to demonstrate leadership in disseminating decarbonizing technologies in and 
across ASEAN countries. CEFIA is expected to contribute to APAEC (ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy 
Cooperation ), implement CEFIA collaboration roadmap, and accelerate finance, primarily through 
the implementation of its Flagship Projects.  
16.  PM Suga announced that Japan would aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net -zero by 
2050 and to realize a decarbonized soc iety. On December 2020, Japan compiled “Green 
Growth  Strategy  through Achieving  Carbon Neutrality in 2050” and created a fund of JPY 2 trillion 
for providing continuing assistance to companies taking up the challenge of ambitious innovations 
throughout t he next decade and set out a policy for the use of the tax system In addition, PM Suga 
announced that Japan aims to reduce its GHG emissions by 46% in FY2030 from FY2013 levels, 
setting an ambitious target which is aligned with the long -term goal of achiev ing net -zero by 2050. 
Furthermore, Japan will continue strenuous efforts in its challenge to meet the lofty goal of cutting 
its emission by 50% (Announced at the 45th meeting of the Global Warming Prevention 
Headquarters and Leaders Summit on Climate on Ap ril 22, 2021).  IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/2

  4  ACTIVITIES IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR  
17.  Since providing good quality medicines forms the foundation of healthcare, it has become an 
important task to establish a system  that can consistently ensure the availability of quality, safe and 
efficacious medicines in developing countries.  Furthermore, the spread of Substandard and Falsified 
(SF) Medical Products  is a significant public health problem, as it not only threatens the health of 
individual users  but also leads to waste of public resources  and/or to  the risk of spawning 
drug-resistant strains of  bacteria. As such, strengthening measures to combat the distribution of SF 
Medical Products is also of great importance.  
18.  From these perspectives, the Government of Japan, through JICA and Japan Inte rnational 
Corporation of Welfare Services (JICWELS), conducts training programmes in order to develop and 
reinforce specialist personnel engaged in pharmaceutical regulatory services.  Additionally, the 
Government of Japan in cooperation with the Japanese P harmaceutical Manufacturers Association 
(JPMA) contributes to improvement of pharmaceutical regulations through participation in 
international conferences, and  endeavours to disseminate the outcomes to developing countries in 
the Asian region.  
5  ACTIVITIES I N THE FIELD OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS  
19.  In FY2020, the following 11 group training courses for government officials  were conducted by 
the Japan Patent Office (JPO), in cooperation with the Asian Pacific Industrial Property Center (APIC) 
of the Japan In stitute for Promoting Invention and Innovation (JIPII): 47 participants from LDCs  in 
total completed training.  In FY2020, the JPO also conducted  four group training courses for the 
private sector, and  13 participants from LDCs completed training.  
20.  In addition, the Government of Japan has been providing voluntary contributions to WIPO which 
is a UN organization responsible for the protection of intellectual property throughout the world and 
the administr ation of various multilateral treaties, such as the creation of IPR rules, etc.  The 'WIPO 
Funds -in-Trust/Japan' (FIT/JP) was established with these voluntary funds and is used to support 
WIPO members in the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the P acific (ESCAP). In addition, 
in FY2008, the  FIT/JP for Africa and LDCs was founded in order to promote self -sustained economic 
development utilizing IP in the region. Furthermore, since April 2019, Japan has renewed FIT/JP as 
the Global Funds, which are us ed without limiting areas of support.  Through these voluntary funds, 
various projects are implemented every year such as accepting trainees and IPR research fellows, 
holding symposiums, sending JPO officials, and supporting the automation and modernization  of IP 
offices. In FY2020, as many as five  programmes were organized with the Funds -in-Trust Japan 
Industrial Property Global (FIT  Japan IP Global), which had more than  197 participants including 
those from LDCs.  
21.  Moreover, JICA provides various IP training  programmes by inviting government officials from 
various countries to Japan. Under such programmes, participants are expected to acquire general 
and basic knowledge through lectures, discussion, site observation etc. and to share the knowledge 
among parti cipants from various countries.  Courses on Intellectual Property Rights have been held 
since 2000. The courses had many participants from LDCs including Myanmar, Cambodia, The 
Gambia, Uganda and Tanzania.
