KIPO

Greetings. I am Commissioner LEE Insil of the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). It is my pleasure to welcome you to our official website.

Dear visitors,

I believe that in order to help Korean enterprises do well in an increasingly competitive and tough global business environment and lead our nation to make another leap forward, an innovation-driven growth that places science and technology at its heart must be pursued.

So, KIPO will dedicate our efforts to improve the expertise and quality of our work and services in examination of intellectual property (IP) applications, and those in the area of trials and appeals; integrate scientific approaches and new technologies into our IP administration and operation; promote creation and utilization of IP rights that will spur the innovation-driven growth; give fairer protection to IP rights; and strengthen our office's engagement in international cooperative activities and partnership with overseas IP organizations.

Here, you can find a range of information on our ongoing policy efforts and measures and latest events we make browsable and accessible and keep them up-to-date, with a belief that our users and stakeholders deserve clear and transparent information. This is also where you can make your valuable voices heard, which we deeply care.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website, and look forward to more actively connecting with you.
