This shows the total money which is related to Japanese Intellectual Property spent in 2001 - 1344607 million yen. We assumed the exchange rate (JPY to USD) at that time was 120.00. This is the basis for the '11.2 billion US dollars'. The URL of the full report is http://www.jpo.go.jp/shiryou/ toukei/pdf/h14_tizai_katudou.htm (PDF File - Japanese)
