The festival will be held under the theme ‘Intellectual Property Leading the Digital Era’ and can be viewed online through KIPO’s official YouTube channel.

At the event, KIPO plans to conduct one-on-one video consultations between local prospective entrepreneurs and experts in intellectual property, finance, law, and taxation, as well as operate an ‘Intellectual Property Market’ that matches excellent intellectual property owned by institutions and companies in the Jeonnam region with prospective entrepreneurs and businesses.

In particular, during the festival, there will be a session for signing ‘Intellectual Property Technology Transfer Agreements’ where research institutions such as Mokpo National Maritime University and Chonnam National University transfer patented technologies to local companies like Jeongsu Marine and Eco Salt.

Jung Yeon-woo, Director of the Industrial Property Policy Bureau at KIPO, stated, “KIPO will strive to create an environment where small and medium enterprises can grow based on intellectual property.”
