Transforming Companies with Proactive Intellectual Property Strategies

Authense Law Firm, based in Minato, Tokyo, is proud to host a free webinar titled "Transforming Companies with Proactive Intellectual Property Strategies." Scheduled for April 15, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (JST), this online event aims to delve into the practical applications of intellectual property (IP) strategies that connect management, legal, and design aspects within a company.

The webinar will be led by prominent speakers, Naohiro Matsuda from Kai Corporation and Masaki Toyama from Authense Patent Firm. Participants can expect to gain insights into utilizing design systems more effectively and integrating IP strategies into daily operations.

Why Attend?

For many organizations, the intellectual property department is often viewed merely as a protective entity rather than a proactive powerhouse. Our webinar aims to shift this perception by showcasing how a well-functioning IP department can enhance corporate performance.

A real-world example of this transformation can be seen in Kai Corporation's IP and Legal Department. They have successfully expanded their role from overseeing patents and design rights to engaging in broader regulatory matters such as compliance with advertising laws. By doing so, they have positioned IP as a vital tool for business growth and product value maximization.

In the current business landscape, IP departments are often seen as a hindrance, where the approach is to stifle innovation due to risk aversion. Yet, through collaboration with sales, marketing, and design teams, the IP function can contribute significantly to business goals.

Key Topics Covered

1. Real-World Practices by Kai Corporation's IP and Legal Department (Speaker: Naohiro Matsuda)
2. Background of Proactive IP Strategies and detailed discussions around successful implementations.

The webinar will be beneficial for various professionals, including those in IP and legal departments, design and marketing teams who interact with IP, and anyone interested in elevating the significance of IP within their organization.

The Webinar Experience

We will explore how to advance the application of design systems in corporate environments, cultivate trust in internal IP departments, and share best practices over the last seven years. Naohiro Matsuda will explain how to integrate legal, management, and design aspects, while Masaki Toyama will underscore practical applications based on his extensive experience with the Japan Patent Office.

By attending, you'll learn cutting-edge strategies to turn intellectual property from a defensive mechanism into a robust asset that promotes innovation and growth. Real examples of internal “IP consulting” practices will be shared, which clearly demonstrate the value of IP in elevating corporate stature and strategic planning.

In addition to the main presentations, there will be opportunities for an interactive Q&A session, facilitating a space for attendees to expand their understanding and network with industry experts.
