[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Jeonbuk National University (President Kim Dong-won) operates a dedicated patent office to provide one-stop support for technology transfer and commercialization based on excellent patents to researchers on campus.

According to Jeonbuk National University on the 26th, Daehye Patent Law Firm and Hallim Patent Law Office have been designated as dedicated patent offices, managing all intellectual property-related tasks including guidance and reception of new invention reports from campus researchers, patent applications, and annual maintenance.

The reason Jeonbuk National University operates a dedicated patent office within the university is that campus researchers had many difficulties in overall patent management, and the system for intellectual property application and management was not unified.

Accordingly, the university plans to designate and operate a dedicated patent office to actively support the creation and utilization stages of excellent intellectual property by campus researchers and to provide one-stop support from filing excellent patents to technology transfer and commercialization stages.

Through this, it is expected that an intellectual property electronic system owned by the university will be established, enabling efficient and specialized patent management and preventing work delays.

To this end, Jeonbuk National University plans to station dedicated patent office professionals at the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation RnBD Strategy Center and actively utilize their networks and infrastructure.

Jo Jae-young, head of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at Jeonbuk National University, said, “If we have a dedicated patent office and actively utilize the infrastructure, high added value linked to our university’s excellent patents will be created,” adding, “Through this, the reliability and satisfaction of excellent patent applications will increase, and follow-up connections regarding the feasibility of various technology transfer commercialization projects are expected to be possible.”
