Essential Patent Information Portal: S.Korea's National Strategy for IT Leadership

The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) opened the essential patent information portal (http://www.epcenter.or.kr/) in order to support IPR (Intellectual Property Right) in standardization activity. Operation of the portal site is a part of S. Korea's national strategies to keep global leadership in information technology by implementing the strategic alliances in "R&D - Standardization - IPR".

The portal provides the essential patent DB in the global standardization organizations such as ISO, ITU, IEEE, ETSI, and 3GPP as well as the patent pools such as MPEG, IEEE 1394, ATSC, AVC/H.264, and VC-1.

The portal also provides mentoring services in essential patent development for S. Korean industries through the operation of essential patent expert pool.
