Sore tte Pakuri ja Nai desu ka?: Shinmai Chiteki Zaisan Buin no Oshigoto

Synopsis

Aki, who works at Tsukiyono Drink, a mid-sized beverage company in Gunma, is transferred to the Intellectual Property Department. Her boss, Kitawaki, seconded from the parent company, is an intellectual property elite with a patent attorney qualification, but he's also an eccentric who enjoys ordering famous sweets from all over Japan and eating them alone. Just as she eagerly begins her new job, her best friend, who runs a clothing brand, is about to be sued by a corrupt company, and a parody product that alters the company's logo is discovered. Aki is thrown into chaos by her unfamiliar work. Each time, she is supported by Kitawaki's knowledge and experience, and manages to overcome these challenges. Just when she thinks that, Tsukiyono Drink's new tea product, which the company has staked its future on, is in danger of being canceled due to infringement of another company's rights. What can Aki do to protect the technology that everyone worked so hard to develop—the culmination of sweat and tears!? (Source: Shueisha, translated)
