 Mind the Gap: Business and Cultural Aspects for Start-Up Collaboration in JapanRobert Alizon ()
A chapter in Intellectual Property Management for Start-ups, 2023, pp 247-259 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Corporations seek partnerships with start-ups to enhance their innovation efforts and to introduce disruption in their market, provided a strong IP portfolio supports the opportunity developed by the start-up. It is thus important for the start-up to apply IP management principles that will lead to successful partnerships. Namely making sure that the start-up owns all IP related to their proposition, the IP secures a strong exclusivity to keep the competition at a distance from the market it has developed, and avoids infringing the IP of other players in the market will attract corporations. This chapter will review these points with an emphasis on the business culture gap that exists between a start-up and a Japanese corporation that is often seeking partnerships with overseas start-ups to compensate for the modest number of start-ups in the Japanese ecosystem.
