知的財産活動について
基本的な考え方
当社は、経営理念として「未知未踏領域を追求し、光技術を用いた新しい産業を創造し、世界一のもの作りを目指すことで、企業価値を向上させるとともに、科学技術の発展にも寄与してまいります」と謳っております。「当社が取り組む光産業創成に向けての知識、ニーズ、競争力のある技術の開発」が事業の根幹であり、その結果として得られた成果を、製品として安定供給することで、社会貢献すると共に、「知的財産権」により保護することで、「事業を側面から支援する」ことが重要であると考えております。
このような経営理念の下での企業活動にあたり、当社では法令及びその精神を遵守するとともに高い倫理観と責任感をもって行動し、社会から信頼と共感を得るべく企業行動規範を制定しております。企業行動規範では、「取引に際して相互の知的財産権を尊重すること」を明記しておりますように、知的財産活動においても、他者の知的財産権を尊重し、侵害することがないように努め、適切な対応を致します。
一方で、当社の高品質な製品を安定的に供給することを妨げる行為には、知的財産権を活用し適切でかつ正当な対応を致します。
浜松ホトニクスグループでは、この考え方に基づいて知的財産活動をしております。

具体的な取り組み、及び実績
事業部、研究所毎に案件を担当する知的財産部員を割り当て、夫々の研究・開発の成果を事業部門、研究部門と協働して出願権利化を図る体制を整えています。発明発掘～出願～権利化までを同じ知的財産部員が担当する、もしくは知的財産部の同じチームで担当することで、出願～権利化までを継続的に支援し、開発状況、市場動向、他者特許状況を十分把握した上で、事業を取り巻く状況に応じて有効な権利を得るようにしています。そして、有効な権利を侵害する行為に対して適切、かつ正当に権利を行使します。
他者特許への対策・対応についても、関連する事業部門を担当する知的財産部員を中心としたチームで担当することで、事業を取り巻く状況に応じた最適な対応をするようにしています。
また国内に出願した案件の70 ％程度は、事業を展開する国等を含む外国でも出願・権利化を図ることで、事業を支援するよう努め、図1に示すように世界中で毎期700件前後、75期（2021年10月1日～2022年9月30日）は738件の知的財産権を取得しました。その結果、2022年9月30日現在で図2に示すように全世界で8160件の知的財産権を保有しています。その内訳は図3に示すように、日本32％、米国20％、欧州（英独仏その他）25％、アジア(中、韓、台)23％で、各地域の売上比率に応じた構成に近くなっています。
