Abstract
During the latter half of the 1980s and 1990s, many Japanese companies changed the name of their patent division (or section) to "intellectual property division". It was not just a change of name, but also a reorganization to review the function of their patent division. In this study, the authors analyze a functional transition of "intellectual property division" and background factors for such changes by using the case studies of Japanese companies
