[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] An opportunity will be provided to share strategies for utilizing patent data and to experience future intellectual property information services through analysis of the latest technology trends such as big data and artificial intelligence.

The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) announced on the 5th that it will hold ‘PATINEX (PATent INformation EXpo) 2021’ online from the 6th to the 10th.

PATINEX has been held a total of 16 times from 2005 through last year.

This year at PATINEX, under the theme of ‘Strategic Utilization of Intellectual Property Data in the Era of Digital Transformation,’ more than 30 domestic and international companies and institutions will participate to showcase various intellectual property information services including technology investigation and analysis, technology commercialization, and legal consultation.

The keynote speech will be delivered by KAIST President Lee Kwang-hyung. President Lee is scheduled to give the keynote address at the opening ceremony on the topic of ‘Intellectual Property Strategy in the Era of Great Transformation.’

At PATINEX, intellectual property information service companies from home and abroad will introduce newly launched services, and major countries’ patent offices will present policies on providing and utilizing intellectual property data.

Additionally, starting this year, a ‘PATINEX Permanent Website’ will be operated to continuously encourage interest in intellectual property information services and to serve as a platform where intellectual property information service demanders and suppliers can be connected at all times.

Park Jong-joo, Director of the Information Customer Support Bureau at KIPO, said, “Patent data is a key tool that enables companies in the digital transformation era to understand future advanced technologies and industrial trends and to set directions for technology development.” He added, “We hope that many companies at PATINEX will strategically utilize patent data to gain insights for establishing technology and management strategies that will secure future markets.”
