Outline and Purpose of the Course	The outside lecturers who are serving at the forefront of companies give lectures on new social issues of enterprises such as protection of intellectual properties and environmental management.
Course Goals	Students are expected to understand the basic knowledge which should be known by the workers who are engaged in technologies on the stages of invention, acquisition and utilization of intellectual property rights based on the rule of patent law with understanding especially the basic features of patent right.

They will also understand the meaning of patent investigation and will be able to do a simple search using patent document database (as technical information). They are also expected to understand basic activities of enterprise environmental management, and to understand importance to obey global and wide environmental control and environmental law, and importance of their unique activities along their business characteristics based on ecological thinking. Based on the knowledge, they will foster their own insights to manage both business management and global environment including the environmental business which focuses on environment as their business.
