IPwe has spent almost 15 years developing and perfecting its flagship AI and

blockchain-based Smart Intangible Asset Management (SIAM (

https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3757268-1&h=628397420&u=https%3A%2F%2Fipwe.com%2Fsmart-intangible-asset-management%2F&a=SIAM

) ) solution. Japanese innovation leaders have already recognized SIAM as a

comprehensive SaaS solution for Japanese companies to value, manage, and

transact their significant IP assets, even though it has yet to be formally

launched. SIAM further leverages dynamic digital assets to securely capture,

develop, and manage each IP asset's lifecycle data, including valuation and

transaction history, to ensure accurate and transparent tracking of assets and

enable IP Dx worldwide.

In June 2021, significant revisions were made to Japan's Corporate Governance

Code, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in the

management of IP. The revisions mandate that publicly traded companies disclose

strategies for managing and utilizing IP and intangible assets and implement

governance structures to ensure appropriate evaluation by investors and

financial institutions. IPwe's solutions offer Japanese innovators a way to

easily comply with Japan's Corporate Governance Code with an efficient,

transparent, and effective mechanism to manage and utilize their IP assets.

"Japanese companies have consistently been at the forefront of innovation,

ranking 13th on the Global Innovation Index 20222. It only makes sense for IPwe

to establish a physical presence in Tokyo to support this innovation," said

Leann Pinto, President of IPwe. "At a time when Japanese companies are facing

challenges to understand and demonstrate compliance with the Corporate

Governance Code, IPwe is formally launching its flagship IP valuation,

management, and transaction solution, SIAM. We have already received a great

response to our solutions in Japan and are excited to announce definitive

partnerships with some of Japan's most important innovators in the coming

weeks."

"Unlike other IP management (

) systems, SIAM uniquely enables Japanese businesses to efficiently utilize

their IP and expand their technological capabilities globally through SIAM,"

said Satoshi Watanabe, Managing Director of Japan. "IPwe looks forward to

fostering the IP Dx in Japan."
