The "2025 Public-Private Partnership IP Strategy Support Project CIPO Program," hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) and organized by the Korea Invention Promotion Association (KIPA), officially launched operations on July 25th with the orientation-style "CIPO One-Day All-in-One Meetup." The program is jointly operated by Rohan International Patent Law Firm, Hanyang University Technology Holdings, and GenAxis Co., Ltd.
This program is a full-cycle public-private partnership aimed at technology-based startups. It supports technology protection, investment attraction, and commercialization strategies utilizing intellectual property (IP). The goal is to prevent technology theft and counterfeiting and transform IP into a core corporate asset.
This orientation focused on practical activities, including an introduction to the program's operational structure, an introduction to the host organization, training on technology-specific listings, and one-on-one meetups between companies and experts. A lecture on technology-specific listings in particular shared IP strategies and real-world examples that technology-based companies should consider during the listing process.
A total of five specialized booths were set up on-site, providing participating companies with opportunities to consult directly with experts in areas such as patent strategy, investment attraction, and technology-specific listings. The investor booth featured major venture capital firms such as C&V Partners, SL Investment, and DT&Investment.
Five companies are participating in this CIPO program: LEDION (energy-saving solar lighting technology), ORANDBIO (developing complex medical products), SINGULARITY BIOTECH (developing treatments for hereditary retinal diseases), SG LAB (developing sensor-based intelligent golf clubs), and HUJECT (developing energy harvesting-based IoT sensors). These companies will receive tailored support throughout the entire process, from establishing IP strategies to creating IR content, connecting investors, and establishing global expansion strategies.
Starting in August, we plan to launch a full-fledged program of practical investment attraction and commercialization, including ▲IR and pitching consulting ▲private IR ▲TIPS recommendations ▲global linkage support ▲CIPO integrated IR demo day.
The operator, ZenAxis, stated, “This year’s program goes beyond education and focuses on practical commercialization and investment linkages centered on IP strategy,” adding, “We will continue to support public-private cooperation to strengthen the competitiveness of technology-focused startups.”
