The system of industrial rights in Japan celebrated 100 years of existence in 1985. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Japanese system of industrial property rights, the Japan Patent Office selected ten great inventors whose contributions were particularly memorable and of historical significance in the industrial development of Japan.^[1][2]

Reliefs of these inventors were created and presented in the lobby of the Japan Patent Office to commemorate their achievements and introduce them to Japanese people.
