イトーキの知財・無形資産ガバナンスへの挑戦

16/7/2026

知財・無形資産ガバナンス協会(IPIAGA 呼称:アイピーガ)の2026年7月度 知財ガバナンス研究会(リモート会議)が7月14日午後行われました。
その中から、今回は株式会社イトーキの知的財産推進課・古賀貴英氏とIR/SR部長・木場氏による「知財・無形資産ガバナンスの取り組み」の講演が行われました。
(会員向けなので、エッセンスしかお伝え出来ません。)
本講演で印象的だったのは、知財部門とIR部門が一体となって知財・無形資産を企業価値向上へ結び付ける取り組みです。知財を「権利取得・保護」のための機能ではなく、経営戦略を実現する無形資産として位置付け、統合報告書を通じて投資家との対話を強化している点が紹介されました。
また、オフィス家具メーカーから「働く空間をデザインする企業」へ進化する中で、OFFICE 1.0(製品販売)→2.0(空間・働き方提案)→3.0(AI・データを活用した継続的なオフィス最適化サービス)という事業変革と、それを支える知財戦略・AI戦略が詳しく説明されました。
さらに、IR部門からは、「知財は特許部門の仕事ではなく経営戦略そのもの」「IR担当者は企業価値の翻訳者」との考え方が示され、知財・人的資本・AI・ブランドなどの無形資産を財務価値へ結び付けるストーリーを投資家へ伝えることの重要性が強調されました。
知財とIRが連携し、統合報告書を単なる開示資料ではなく、企業価値創造を伝えるコミュニケーションツールとして活用するイトーキの取り組みは、知財・無形資産ガバナンスを実践する企業の先進事例として、大変示唆に富む内容でした。
今回の講演は、知財ガバナンス研究会の会員向けなので、エッセンスしかお伝え出来ませんので、代わりに、生成AIに、「イトーキの知財・無形資産ガバナンスへの挑戦と生成AI活用の取組」について深掘りさせましたので、ご参照ください。なお、生成AIによる調査・分析結果は、公開された情報からだけの分析であり、必ずしも実情を示したものではないこと、誤った情報も含まれていることについてはご留意されたうえで、ご参照ください。

ITOKI’s Challenge in Intellectual Property and Intangible Asset Governance
The July 2026 Intellectual Property Governance Study Group (held remotely) of the Intellectual Property & Intangible Asset Governance Association (IPIAGA) took place on the afternoon of July 14, 2026.
Among the presentations, I would like to highlight the lecture titled "Initiatives in Intellectual Property and Intangible Asset Governance", delivered by Takahide Koga, Intellectual Property Promotion Section, and Mr. Kiba, General Manager of the IR/SR Department, of ITOKI Corporation.
(As this was a members-only session, I can only share its key takeaways.)
What impressed me most was ITOKI's integrated approach in which the Intellectual Property and IR functions work together to enhance corporate value through intellectual property and other intangible assets. Rather than treating intellectual property merely as a function for acquiring and protecting rights, the company positions it as a strategic intangible asset that enables the execution of its corporate strategy. The speakers also explained how ITOKI leverages its Integrated Report to strengthen dialogue with investors.
Another notable topic was the company's business transformation from a traditional office furniture manufacturer into a company that designs workplaces. The presentation described the evolution from OFFICE 1.0 (product sales), to OFFICE 2.0 (workspace and workstyle solutions), and further to OFFICE 3.0 (AI- and data-driven continuous office optimization services), together with the intellectual property and AI strategies supporting this transformation.
From the IR perspective, the speakers emphasized that "intellectual property is not merely the responsibility of the patent department—it is an integral part of corporate strategy," and that "IR professionals are translators of corporate value." They stressed the importance of communicating to investors a compelling value creation story that connects intangible assets—including intellectual property, human capital, AI, and brand equity—to financial value.
ITOKI's approach, in which the Intellectual Property and IR functions collaborate to use the Integrated Report not simply as a disclosure document but as a strategic communication tool for conveying corporate value creation, provides a highly insightful example of best practices in intellectual property and intangible asset governance.
Since this presentation was exclusively for members of the Intellectual Property Governance Study Group, I am only able to share its essence. Instead, I asked a generative AI system to conduct an in-depth analysis of ITOKI's challenge in intellectual property and intangible asset governance and its initiatives for leveraging generative AI. I hope you will find the analysis informative.
