Pasona Japan General Affairs Department Implements Practical 'IP Education' at Higashiyodo Technical High School

Pasona Japan General Affairs Department Co., Ltd. will conduct outreach classes for second-year students at Osaka Prefectural Higashiyodo Technical High School starting Thursday, June 4, 2026, based on the FY2026 'Intellectual Property Development School Support Project' of INPIT (National Center for Industrial Property Information and Training). In this class, students will experience the entire process from identifying everyday problems to conducting prior art searches, prototyping, and creating patent application documents, providing practical IP education to apply inventions to society. Pasona Japan General Affairs Department operates 'TOMO~NI', a regional co-creation facility based on SDGs in Moriguchi and Kadoma cities, Osaka Prefecture, and has provided robot programming education and manufacturing experiences. In these outreach classes, we will utilize this expertise to incorporate prototyping activities using sensor technology, programming, and 3D printers to promote the realization of ideas. Furthermore, for inventions and ideas born in this class, we will also consider applying to contests with an eye toward patent applications, leading to the creation of opportunities for presentation and dissemination outside the school.
