[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) announced on the 1st that it will hold the '2020 Korea Intellectual Property Exhibition (39th edition)' from the 1st to the 4th at COEX Hall C and the online exhibition hall.

The Intellectual Property Exhibition is the largest integrated intellectual property exhibition in Korea, hosted by KIPO and organized by the Korea Invention Promotion Association.

The event aims to promote the distribution of excellent products equipped with intellectual property such as patents, trademarks, and designs, and to raise public awareness of intellectual property.

Considering the recent nationwide spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), KIPO has significantly reduced the number of attendees for the opening and awards ceremonies, and the exhibition will be conducted by controlling the number of visitors by time slot for those who have made prior reservations, in accordance with quarantine guidelines.

Kim Yong-rae, Commissioner of KIPO, said, “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation is rapidly progressing across domestic and international economic and industrial sectors. Since intellectual property is the source of competitiveness leading the global economy, KIPO will focus its institutional capabilities on innovating intellectual property policies, administration, and systems to lead the digital intellectual property era.”
