Innobiz Association Holds "Super-Fast Examination System Briefing" with the Intellectual Property Office

Introduction of Dedicated Tracks for AI and Biotechnology and System Overview

The Innobiz Association announced on the afternoon of May 14 that it held a "Super-Fast Examination System Briefing" jointly with the Patent System Division of the Intellectual Property Office at the association's main conference room.

The Super-Fast Examination System of the Intellectual Property Office was introduced in October last year. It is a system that provides patent examination results within a maximum of one month, compared to the average processing time of over 14 months, focusing on fields with rapid technological change and high growth potential based on technology.

Previously, the system was available for up to 500 cases annually for companies with export performance or for advanced technologies such as semiconductors and displays in cases of overseas applications. Starting this year, however, the annual support volume has been expanded to 2,000 cases per category (4,000 cases in total), and the scope of support has been broadened as part of efforts to vitalize the system.

In particular, with the launch of dedicated tracks for artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology for startups, venture businesses, and Innobiz companies this year, the association organized the briefing to help Innobiz companies and member firms quickly acquire rights for their innovative technologies and gain a competitive edge in the market.

The briefing addressed the unfamiliarity companies may experience in the early stages of the system's adoption by providing detailed guidelines and procedures for the Super-Fast Examination System. The session covered the specific process from the application, eligibility assessment, the start of examination, through to its conclusion. A practical lecture on "tailored IP acquisition strategies" and a Q&A session with patent experts were also provided to offer insights and allow companies to directly discuss and communicate their on-site challenges.

A representative from the Innobiz Association said, "The Super-Fast Examination System of the Intellectual Property Office will serve as a groundbreaking support measure for companies in advanced industries where speed is critical," adding, "The association will continue to offer a wide range of policy support to help member companies leverage their technological strength to achieve rapid market entry."
