Comparative review of private international law in Japan
Comparative review of private international law in Japan

Summary/Abstract: This summary of lecture underlines some characteristics of Japanese private international law in comparison with Polish private international law. Through the comparison, it is especially highlighted that considerable differences can be observed in the field of international succession and right in rem. It should be noted that this lecture does not provide exhaustive enumeration of comparative points, and further detailed reviews would be desirable in the future. Specifically, another important contrast can be observed in the rules on intellectual property. Chapter 10 of 2011 Polish PIL Act provides provisions on intellectual property. This Chapter of 2011 Polish PIL Act consisting of two provisions is noteworthy considering that Japanese private international law still does not have any written choice-of-law provision on intellectual property.
