Manage product development in the legal domain, focusing on user needs and market trends.
About this role
This role sits in Money Forward’s Intellectual Property Strategy Office, supporting the group’s Fintech businesses and more than 60 products. It treats intellectual property broadly—patents, trade secrets, copyrights, brands, data, know-how and services—and works with business teams, engineers and product managers to connect IP with business strategy.
The position leads an IP mix covering software patents, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks; designs group-wide governance as overseas development sites expand; and uses IP landscape research and analysis to advise management and business alliances. It also identifies inventions with engineers and PdMs, extracts the value of software inventions and turns it into rights that protect the business. Applicants must have advanced IP-practice expertise, including roughly seven or more years of experience, software-patent practice, building and operating an IP portfolio based on business strategy, combined-IP work, and IP strategy planning and execution in an operating company.
