The Ministry of Intellectual Property (MOIP), led by Minister Yong-seon Kim, announced that it will jointly operate the new “Korea–WIPO IP Valuation and Finance Training Program” online with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) from November 24 (Mon) to 27 (Thu).
MOIP has collaborated with WIPO each year to provide joint training programs covering various IP fields, including patents and trademarks. As the first international education program established following MOIP’s elevation to ministry status, this new joint course aims to redefine intellectual property not merely as a legal right but as a core asset with economic value, while fostering a deeper understanding of IP finance and strategies to stimulate investment. MOIP plans to share Korea’s IP finance expertise and global trends with IP policy, legal, R&D, and finance professionals from more than 40 countries.
The program features a practical, application-focused curriculum designed to enhance understanding of IP finance and maximize the financial value of intellectual property. Key training modules include ▲Understanding IP Finance ▲Three Valuation Approaches in Technology Valuation ▲Patent Map Analysis Methodologies ▲IP-Backed Lending and Securitization ▲IP Monetization Strategies and Investment ▲Global IP Finance Models ▲Best Practices in Technology Commercialization in Korea.
Heo Jae-woo, President of the International Intellectual Property Training Institute under MOIP, stated, “This newly launched program is highly meaningful as it provides an opportunity to share Korea’s advanced experience in evaluating the value of intellectual property and linking it with finance. We will continue to expand leading international training programs of this kind to meaningfully contribute to strengthening global IP capacity and to reinforce international cooperation that supports Korean companies in effectively leveraging their IP assets overseas.”
