Intellectual property management and legal affairs cover a wide variety of intellectual property (rights), designs (design rights), works (copy rights), trade secrets, and trademarks (trademark rights), and encompass all phases of corporate activities at multiple levels: creation and acquisition in the research and development department, protection in the intellectual property and legal departments, and utilization in the business departments. While each of these subjects and activities must be integrated as a whole from the perspective of innovation and brand management, each of them is also highly specialized and international in nature, and furthermore, each system and operation changes quickly, often, and significantly.
