  NETIS is a database authorized by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).  The database aims to share cutting-edge technologies used for public works with private sector.  NETIS is useful to penetrate new technologies into Japanese infrastructure market because it is used for proposal, application and evaluation of new technologies in the area of public works.

 Material suppliers, contractors and engineering consultants in Japan use NETIS to promote their technologies.  Municipal authorities also refer to NETIS for local public works.  NETIS is very important for infrastructure sector to promote new technologies.

 Registered technology will be publicized for 5 years from next FY of the registration.  This publication period can be extended maximum to 10 years by getting a good evaluation during first 5 years.  Following fig. shows the outline of publication period.  　Extension of the publication period will also contribute to higher reliability of the technology. 

  Registration for NETIS database means that the technology is evaluated publicly as reliable one.

  Registered technologies will be publicized on NETIS database.  Evaluation of the technology also can be registered.  If you are planning to participate in a trade show or an exhibition, to be on NETIS database will be of great help for promotion.  A turnover of NETIS registered product of our client has increased after the NETIS registration.  Following shows its sales history.

 NETIS-registered technologies bring some merits: superiority in bid for public works and advantage in evaluation after the work.  Moreover, if your technology is used in a public work, the constructor may disclose the evaluation of your technology.  This evaluation can help promotion of your technology.  

 A staff at MLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) says it takes around 200 days on average to complete the registration procedure.  In fact, register to NETIS is a time-consuming work.  The most time-consuming work during the registration procedure lays in making the application documents which are very complexed.

 In Form-2, you must abstract your technology which must be compared to conventional technology in Form-4.  You should discuss with MLIT on the novelty of your technology and decision of "the conventional technology".  This discussion may take long time and you need to have deep and specific discussion with MLIT many times.

 We can support you to register your technology to NETIS smoothly.  Our consultation can lead your technology to prompt register to NETIS and better evaluation after the registration.

　Registration to NETIS can enhance the reliability of your technology because only technologies which are authorized will be on NETIS.  Therefore, the application form of NETIS should be considered as promotion sheets to MLIT.  If the description on the application form is attractive, it may contribute not only to the registration procedure, but also to excellent evaluation after the registration.  Finetech Offices Of Law is an experienced office in this area and has know-how to make promotive documents.
