KIPO Intellectual Property Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Researchers can access subsidies for patent filing and legal advice to protect their inventions through this Korean government program.
This scheme provides financial assistance and professional guidance to help researchers protect their new inventions through patents.
Who it's for
This program is designed for researchers who have developed inventions that have the potential to be patented.
What you get
You can receive subsidies to help cover the costs of filing a patent. Additionally, the scheme provides access to legal consultation to help navigate the complexities of intellectual property rights.
What it costs you
To participate, you will need to provide detailed technical disclosure documents that explain your invention in depth.
The catch to know
You must submit your application before you publicly disclose your research results. If your research is already published or shared openly, you may lose your eligibility to protect it under this scheme.
How to apply
- Prepare your technical disclosure documents for your invention.
- Review the specific filing requirements for your research area.
- Submit your application through the official government portal.
