KIPO

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

Dear visitors,

Today's changing world presents us and our nation the challenges of a new kind. With science and technology evolving at an unseen pace, nations around the world are increasingly engaged in the hegemonic competition over high-end technologies, to get ahead and secure a leading position in the future.

In this critical moment to our nation seeking to make a new leap by leveraging science, technology and innovation, intellectual property rights, a strong and substantial legal protection that is granted to the valuable results of innovation, are becoming important more than ever before.

Korean Intellectual Property Office, with a strong sense of responsibility, will continue to make every effort to give an effective protection to the creative ideas and innovative technologies produced by our valuable inventors and innovators with much effort, by offering more reliable and efficient examination and trial services in a timely manner.

The Office would like to thank you for your interest in and kind support to our activities, and your precious contributions to the innovation community, and will listen to your thoughts and voices with dignity and respect, as always.
