The International Intellectual Property Training Institute of the Korean Intellectual Property Office announced on the 19th that from the 19th to the 29th, it will conduct "Intellectual Property Capacity Building Training" for six developing countries?Jordan, Rwanda, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, and Vietnam?at the KOICA Global Training Center located in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do.


This program is part of the "KOICA International Training Project," a three-year course that began last year. The training aims to promote the development of intellectual property rights in developing countries and support economic growth through cooperation between the Korean Intellectual Property Office and KOICA.


The training focuses on key topics such as ▲economic development models utilizing intellectual property (IP), ▲global intellectual property licensing strategies, and ▲intellectual property valuation and finance. Fifteen intellectual property officials from the participating countries are attending the training.


Notably, this year’s curriculum includes a customized intellectual property system strategy course tailored to each country. The customized course is designed to analyze the issues of local intellectual property systems in each participating country and propose solutions through expert consulting, aligning with the operational direction.


Through this, the Training Institute expects that the intellectual property officials participating in the training will be able to recognize and experience the process of identifying and improving issues in their home countries’ intellectual property systems upon their return.



Im Jin-hong, Director of the International Intellectual Property Training Institute at the Korean Intellectual Property Office, said, “We hope this training will help strengthen intellectual property capacity and raise awareness of intellectual property rights in developing countries. The Korean Intellectual Property Office will continue to discover and expand training programs to support economic development and mutually beneficial relationships with developing countries.”
