The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) is planning to start a high-quality evaluation system “next-generation patent website” applied with AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology.

Through AI-based search system and machine translation system, the new website is going to provide a rapid and accurate administrative service and effective management of patents through personalized information.

KIPO (Director Park Won-joo) stated that it will start a next-generation patent website that will establish a high-quality evaluation system, improve electronic application service, and enhance performance of data processing system on the 2nd of March.

The website is a comprehensive information system that computerizes application of industrial property right on patent, utility model, trademark, and design and entire patent-related administrative tasks such as evaluation, judgment, registration, and publication of official returns.
