n  Partners shall agree with WIPO GREEN Charter and clarify their contributions to WIPO GREEN.

from developed countries from developping countries



Principles of WIPO GREEN n  Transparency: WIPO GREEN, as a global repository of

technologies, best practices and analyses, contributes to a more open market.

n  Partnerships: WIPO GREEN brings together the public and private sectors on a voluntary basis to facilitate collaborations and accelerate investments.

n  A comprehensive understanding of needs: WIPO GREEN offers a space for publicizing needs, allowing interested parties to respond to and offer solutions.

n  IP rights: WIPO GREEN encourages the exchange, sale and licensing of technologies and their associated rights.

n  Agreements that originate through the use of the WIPO GREEN are the responsibility of the contracting parties.

Photocatalyst titanium apatite technolgy n Developed by FUJITSU LIMITED in collaboration with the University of

Tokyo.

n Photocatalytic material, in which a part of calcium ions in apatite crystals are substituted by titanium ions.

n Advantages

・ Has similar photocatalytic properties of the conventionally used photocatalyst titanium dioxide.

・ Has the same structure as hydroxyapatite, which is included in bones, and is highly effective at adsorbing organic materials.

・ Shows inactivating effect against viruses, microbes, and allergens, even in dark condition.

Current Issues and the future scope of WIPO GREEN

Following three issues seem to be most important.

n  How can we know real needs in developing countries?

n  How can we connect various types of members to realize the transfer of ESTs?

n  How to share the value and benefit from IPR systems between developing and developed countries?

　　　

27



How can we know real needs in developing countries? n  There has been only a few registration of needs in DB. ⇒　Needs are quite specific to each geographical area and

easily changing with time and government regulations. n  Human network and the systems should be constructed. 　⇒ Concurrent exchange of opinions of the skilled persons 　　　(Engineers, Technology consultants, Funding advisors, etc.

in the developing countries) n  Technology seeds information in the developing countries

are also the technology needs information. ⇒　case studies of “Reverse Innovation” and the activities

of academics, such as D-Lab in MIT and O-Lab of SUTD, can be useful examples

28



How can we connect various types of members to realize the transfer of ESTs? n  The active value chain of technology transfer should be

constructed. ⇒ Not only technology providers and acceptors, but also providers for supporting service.

n  Organizations of various types must work together, such as public sector, private sector and nonprofit sector.

⇒　Factors described in “Social Marketing”(Kotler, 2010) should be considered. - Agreement on common goals - Clear roles and responsibilities - Mutual respect and appreciation - Negotiation and compromise - Open communication - System for accountability

29


Creating IP Vision for the World How to share the value and benefit from IPR systems between developing and developed countries? n  I believe this is the final goal of WIPO GREEN. n  From the aspect of “Reverse Innovation”, the innovation in

developing countries can transform global markets, as Govindarajan (2012) described, . ⇒ IPR system will be beneficial not only for the industries in developed countries, but also for the innovators in developing countries.

n  There may be the points that the IPR system itself should be modified as Kaskus (2012) suggested.

⇒ For example, patenting conditions, such as the differentiation of patent terms.

Current Issues and the future scope of WIPO GREEN

Toward the effective system for Green Technology Transfer in the future:

n  Currently, members of Partners in WIPO GREEN are making efforts together as 4 working groups. (Database, Needs, Communication and Finance)

n  JIPA is continuously focusing on the networking activity of WIPO GREEN.

We strongly hope more organizations from Asia will join WIPO GREEN Network, not only for North to South green technology transfer, but also for North to North transfer or Packaging of green technologies.
