Universities' activities regarding U-I collaboration and intellectual property have been changing greatly in Japan. This study selected three national university corporations as model universities, ascertained all information relating to patent applications. As a result, around 1998, a large number of measures relating to intellectual property began to appear in Japan, including the TLO Law, the Industry Revitalization Law, and the Intellectual Property Strategic Program. These measures have increased the number of university patents. Meanwhile, the conversion of the national universities into national university corporations in 2004 affected which organizations were associated with patent applications, rather than the total number of applications.
