From whether an idea can become a right to securing rights in Korea and abroad.
Patents, trademarks, designs and technology transfer — we cover the full range of intellectual property.
01Idea
Can your idea become a right? We review it with you before filing.
Even a good idea may not become a right if it is disclosed first. Before filing, we confirm what is new and how far it can be protected.
What we do
Invention consultation and idea development
Prior art searches and patentability review
Trademark and design clearance searches
Our track record

Developed an idea generation system (Ideation System) based on the O-S Model using big data analysis

What to file, and how far — designed around your business plan.
A portfolio protects a business better than a single patent. We analyze competitors’ rights and design with you the paths to avoid and the paths to block.

Rights gain value when they are used. We assess the value of technology, transfer it to where it is needed, and review the IP of universities and research institutes.
