Cooperation in the field of intellectual property between South Korea and Qatar is set to expand.

At the meeting, Commissioner Lee shared key issues in the field of intellectual property between the two countries and mainly discussed ways to mutually cooperate in establishing a national intellectual property strategy in Qatar.

Earlier, in June, South Korea and Qatar signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) promising comprehensive cooperation in the field of intellectual property, thereby establishing a cooperative relationship between the two countries in this area.

During the subsequent high-level meeting, both sides agreed to mutually cooperate in setting national visions and goals for intellectual property, deriving national strategic tasks in the creation, protection, and utilization of intellectual property, and establishing Qatar’s national intellectual property strategy. They also agreed to hold working-level meetings to concretely implement these plans.

Commissioner Lee Insil stated, “Through the high-level meeting with Qatar, KIPO has laid the foundation to expand the cooperative relationship in the field of intellectual property between the two countries. Taking this opportunity, we will strive to spread the advanced Korean-style intellectual property system throughout the Middle East region and to export intellectual property administrative services.”
