His profound experience contributes much to make the courses provided by him or jointly by him and his colleagues very practical and effective, including those provided for the students of International Programs in Law as described below, as well as intellectual property courses provided for Japanese Law School students, business law courses provided for the Business School students, and legal training courses for undergraduate students who are preparing themselves to enter law school.

Although his study and contribution to society, as well as educations provided to students, cover very wide scope from intellectual property, diffusion of medical and healthcare information with better quality, to sharing of medical records among patients and multiple medical teams, always the essence thereof is the question that how we can promote the wider and quicker diffusion of knowledge and innovation. In order to respond to this question, he is combining the perspective from social network with empirical knowledge derived from legal practice.
