The Korea Intellectual Property Protection Agency announced on the 25th that it is publicly recruiting external advisory committee members to oversee the review and evaluation of intellectual property protection support projects such as patents and K-brands.


External advisory committee members will participate in consultations and deliberations during various reviews, evaluations, and meetings conducted by the Korea Intellectual Property Protection Agency.


The recruitment is divided into four patent fields: IT & telecommunications, machinery & automobiles, electrical & electronics, chemistry & pharmacy; and four K-brand fields: trademarks, design, content, and others (unfair competition, copyright).


To serve as an external advisory committee member, candidates must meet affiliation requirements such as belonging to government/public institutions, universities, or companies, and have at least 10 years of experience after obtaining a bachelor's degree, at least 3 years after acquiring a patent attorney license, or meet qualifications such as being a professor.


However, retirees from intellectual property-related fields who currently have no affiliation but are recognized as possessing expertise may be exempted from the affiliation requirements and can serve as external advisory committee members.


Applications can be submitted through the Korea Intellectual Property Protection Agency website, and applicants need to provide certificates of employment, career, degree, and copies of qualification certificates.



Further detailed registration requirements and procedures can be found in the project announcement posted on the Korea Intellectual Property Protection Agency website.
