This training is targeted at executives and employees of Innobiz companies with technological innovation capabilities and will cover four topics: ▲ patent information search and utilization ▲ employee invention compensation system ▲ patent protection strategies ▲ trademark practices, with a total of 5 hours of training.

The second half training will be held four times in total: three sessions outside the metropolitan area and one session in the metropolitan area. The first session will start on Thursday, August 22, in Busan, followed by sessions in Daejeon and Chungbuk. Each session will recruit about 30 participants, and there is no cost to the companies.

An official from the Innobiz Association stated, "While the importance of IP for domestic small and medium enterprises is increasing, systematic management and protection strategies are still lacking. We plan to prepare various support measures so that Innobiz companies possessing innovative technologies can enhance their R&D capabilities based on IP."

Applications for the training can be made on the Innobiz Association website, and detailed inquiries can be directed to the Innobiz Association Member Cooperation Headquarters.
