Overview of Performance Certification
Performance certification is a strategic tool for startups to secure public sector sales channels. It is particularly important for companies engaged in B2G business.
Requirements for Performance Certification
Technical Basis: Product-related certifications such as patent registrations
Product Implementation: Actual production of a product that meets the certification specifications
Proving Performance: Obtaining test reports through KOLAS accredited institutions
Importance of Consistency Between Patents and Products
Whether the components included in the patent claims have been applied to the product in question is one of the key evaluation criteria. Patent attorneys play an important role in this evaluation, and about one-third of applying companies receive an unsatisfactory judgment at this stage.
Practical Considerations – Consulting with Patent Attorneys
Consider the differences between the claims structure at the time of application and the claims structure at the time of commercialization
Reflect any amendments made during the patent examination process in product design
Above all, it is essential to maintain continuous communication with your patent attorney and to address patent examination responses alongside changes in product design to successfully obtain performance certification.
