• Develop and implement internal IP policies, training programs, and workflow processes.
• Collaborate with outside counsel on complex IP prosecution, litigation, or oppositions.
• Advise on IP-related clauses in contracts, NDAs, licensing agreements, and joint ventures.
• Monitor changes in global IP law and advise business stakeholders accordingly.

Qualifications
