The Policy Press Corps consists of 15 members, including student inventors, columnists, and webtoon artists, selected through an open recruitment targeting the public.

The main role of the Policy Press Corps is to share intellectual property policy content discovered through their reporting activities with the public by creating content in their own unique styles.

The launch ceremony included a commissioning ceremony, lectures on intellectual property and social network (SNS) promotion strategies, and a tour of the Inventors' Hall of Fame.

From now on, articles written by the Policy Press Corps will be posted on the KIPO blog. After the activities conclude, KIPO plans to select outstanding reporters who contributed to raising awareness of intellectual property and award them certificates and prizes.

Jeong Dae-sun, spokesperson for KIPO, said, "This year marks the 60th anniversary of 'Invention Day,' a meaningful year, and we hope many creative articles about 'prestigious patents' that embody the value of inventions will be discovered. KIPO will spare no support to help the Policy Press Corps inform the public about KIPO’s intellectual property policies more broadly and in greater detail."
