Itoki receives first-ever Special Award at Intellectual Property and Intangible Asset Governance Awards
ITOKI CORPORATION (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Koji Minato) has received the Special Award for the first time at the Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets Governance Awards, selected by the Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets Governance Promotion Association (IPIAGPA, https://ipiagpa.net/).
We define our strengths as intellectual property and intangible assets, which are integrated using the phrase "Tech x Design based on PEOPLE," meaning technology, design, and the human capital that supports them, and we practice management in close coordination with our management and business strategies. In our 2025 Integrated Report, we list three strategies for strengthening our intellectual property and intangible assets: a human resources strategy integrated with our management strategy, an intellectual property strategy integrated with our management strategy, and a digital transformation strategy linked to our management strategy, and disclose information about our strategic vision for creating new value and achieving sustainable growth.
IPIAGA's evaluation points are as follows:
