Busan City announced on the 13th that it will promote the '2020 3rd IP (Intellectual Property) Stepping Stone Program Support Project' in collaboration with the Busan Intellectual Property Center (Busan Branch of the Korea Invention Promotion Association) to support startups based on intellectual property.

The IP Stepping Stone Program Support Project concretizes outstanding ideas held by citizens and provides one-stop support for startups in the field of intellectual property. It offers intellectual property education and startup know-how, creates excellent patents, and promotes startups based on intellectual property.

Anyone who is a prospective entrepreneur with excellent ideas and technical skills or plans to start a business by changing industries can participate, and 30 students will be recruited by the 23rd.

The education period is from July 28 to August 4, and the entire course will be conducted free of charge at the Hyowon Industry-Academic Cooperation Building of Pusan National University. Among the excellent ideas of those who complete the education, patentability and business feasibility will be evaluated and selected to support patent application fees.

The main educational contents include concepts of patent law systems, prior art search methods, business model design, intellectual property dispute cases, and practical business plan writing. The plan is to increase startup success rates through customized support tailored to each startup stage.
