Greetings from the head
타이틀이 들어갑니다.01. Intellectual property is the key weapon of the global economic war.
Intellectual property disputes – the global war of the 21st century transcending national borders – are taking place throughout the global market, including the USA and European nations. The intellectual property dispute between Apple and Samsung is only the beginning. As information technology is being applied in diverse industries, there will continue to be lawsuits of astronomical scale based on various intellectual property rights including patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyrights, and trade secrets. Enterprises based in South Korea are also exposed to such risks of intellectual property war without proper legal weapons or expertise.
02. Intellectual property is also the seed of the creative economy.
Intellectual property is the currency that expresses the value embedded in created work and technology, especially in the era of the creative economy where creativity in science, technology, culture, and the arts lead to economic progress. Assessing the value of intellectual property has become an essential part of licensing, technology transfer, and M&A. Furthermore, intellectual property itself is now a useful asset for financial transactions.
Recently, the U.S. government has put strong breaks on non-practicing entities (NPEs) perpetrating abuse of rights and started to pursue policies that encourage creativity and innovation. It is possible to infer that future intellectual property practices will embrace not only the traditional protection of rights, but also investment in intellectual properties, turning them into business, and finance and exchange involving IP rights as a medium.
Investment in professional education in intellectual property is the best strategy to prepare for the future.
Gaining competitive advantages in the global IP market depends on the capabilities of IP experts in the protection of IPR, creation, and application of value, turning them into business and financing. Invest in IP education now. Cultivate and invest in talents with the potential to become the future chief intellectual property officer (CIPO). Your small investment today will bring you tremendous value in the near future. Professional education in IP is the best field to invest in for firms willing to make the best out of the creative economic environment and to prepare for the global IP war.
