Welcome to the International Intellectual Property Law Research Center.

The International Intellectual Property Law Research Center is established to strengthen research capacity of the Patent Court of Korea specializing in Intellectual property. It aims to carry out the court’s international affairs and lead academic exchanges in Korea and overseas efficiently and effectively.

IP litigations are becoming more and more sophisticated and globalized in recent years, frequently causing the same patent disputes to take place in several countries at the same time. The International Intellectual Property Law Research Center seeks to stay vigilant of such international IP disputes and support the Patent Court of Korea to become an IP Hub Court, as a center of IP dispute settlement in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Since its foundation in May 2017, the Research Center has published reputable research papers through high research activity every year. At the same time, we also supported the successful hosting of the International IP Court Conference. In addition, the Center has entered into numerous agreements with IP specialized institutions home and abroad. In particular, in the year 2021, we have carried out an in-depth study of the two prominent subjects: “Comparative Research on Indirect Infringement under The Patent Act” and “Comparative Research on Employee Invention.” Moreover, we have revised the “Korean-English Intellectual Property Law Dictionary” published years ago.

We will strive to provide a blueprint for the specialized IP Court second to none through ongoing research and domestic and international academic exchanges and contribute to the improvement of Koreas’ legal system in the field of IP law.
I ask for your kindest support and encouragement for the Research Center.
Thank you.
