Strategy

About this role

Konica Minolta’s intellectual-property team aligns patent strategy with business and technology plans. This opening covers a staff or manager role, with the assigned business determined by experience and technical background, including industry, healthcare, professional print or digital workplace.

Responsibilities span strategy proposals, invention discovery, domestic and overseas patent filing and prosecution, use of company IP, and responses to third-party rights, including clearance and disputes. The specialist coordinates patent firms; drafting is often outsourced so internal work can focus on strategy and inventions. Managers additionally run the IP organization and propose and implement reforms.

Applicants need at least three years in invention discovery, patent filing and prosecution, and effective coordination with business and development teams. Organization-management experience is required for the manager route only.
