Integrated Approach to Intellectual Property Services: The Patent Certificate is Not Everything

The core of intellectual property services is an integrated approach based on a "broad perspective".

Fundamental Understanding of Startup Patents

• Patents are about 'technology'

• In startups, 'technology' is a means to solve 'problems'

• Therefore, the clearer the problem to be solved by technology, the better the potential for deriving a good patent

Establishing an Effective Patent Strategy

Step 1: Clarify Problem Definition

• Is the problem to be solved clear and does it have market potential?

• Are customers willing to pay for solving that problem?

Step 2: Evaluate Technical Suitability

• Considering the team's capabilities, is the technology optimal for solving the problem?

• Are there more efficient and cheaper alternative technologies?

Step 3: Review Patent Registration Possibility

• Possibility of securing registered patents for the technology

• Identify differentiated elements compared to existing technologies

Step 4: Optimize Scope of Rights

• Securing a valid and broad scope of rights that can check competitors

• Enhanced protection for key technological elements
