"SME Technology Dispute Litigation Insurance" is a product that compensates small and medium-sized enterprises for legal expenses such as attorney and patent attorney fees required for lawsuits and other legal disputes related to technology. For domestic insurance, the government subsidizes 70 to 80 percent of the insurance premium, and for overseas insurance, 80 percent of the premium is subsidized. The maximum coverage is up to 50 million won per coverage for domestic insurance and up to 100 million won for overseas insurance.


Choi Hyukseung, Head of Division at DB Insurance, stated, "This business agreement will serve as a strong umbrella for Innobiz companies, helping them operate their businesses stably and escape the threat of technology theft," adding, "Going forward, DB Insurance will continue to take the lead in establishing a support system for protecting Innobiz company technologies by cooperating in various ways with the Foundation for Win-Win Cooperation and the Innobiz Association."
