This year, KIPO will select a total of 61 personnel, including 23 in the first half of the year and additional recruitment in the second half. This is a 50% increase compared to last year’s total recruitment of 40 personnel.

Eligibility requires holding a degree (master’s or higher) or a professional qualification (such as lawyer, patent attorney, pharmacist, etc.).

KIPO examiners review whether patents, designs, trademarks, and other intellectual properties created by inventors and companies can be legally protected, thereby granting intangible rights.

Park Won-joo, Commissioner of KIPO, stated, “We will contribute to creating strong intellectual property rights through high-quality examination services by hiring excellent personnel with expertise.”
