The 7th Term of the National Intellectual Property Committee Launched... Strengthening Expertise to Enhance Global Responsiveness

The government will launch the 7th National Intellectual Property Committee, including a total of 20 private members, on the 1st of next month.

The Intellectual Property Committee is a presidential advisory body responsible for the overall coordination, adjustment, and deliberation of national intellectual property policies. It is co-chaired by the Prime Minister (government side) and Lee Kwang-hyung, President of KAIST (private side).

The committee is composed of 13 government members, including the Minister of Science and ICT, and 19 private members with extensive knowledge and experience in intellectual property fields such as patents and copyrights.

Established in July 2011 under the Basic Intellectual Property Act, the committee plays a role in reviewing and coordinating major government policies and plans to promote the creation, protection, and utilization of various intellectual properties such as patents and copyrights, and to build the foundation for these efforts.

This appointment of private members was organized by intellectual property sectors, with reinforcement of experts in copyrights, international trade, and financial investment fields to strengthen global response capabilities.

The committee plans to actively participate in inter-ministerial cooperation on intellectual property issues, the activation of the IP global business ecosystem, and the formation of international norms to enhance the nation's status.

Chairman Lee Kwang-hyung stated, "We will focus on securing a leading position in international IP relations and strive to play a central role in realizing a strong intellectual property nation."
