It would not be an overstatement to say that a company's competitive edge stems from its intellectual property in today's industrial society, where rapid development is a key element. Particularly for businesses that rely heavily on technology, intellectual property rights including patents and utility models are probably the most essential aspect of competitiveness. On the other hand, trade secrets are growing in importance, and some technologies may be better protected as trade secrets in addition to patents. Trademarks to protect brand value, issues related to improper competition, and designs to protect aesthetics are equally vital to the competitiveness of a company as technology.
