1. KIPO published results of patent analysis, ‘Drug repurposing method by using AI”, to support a COVID-19 medicine in KSBI (Korean Society for Bioinformatics), to share the information with the industry-university-institute collaboration
KIPO published the results of patent analysis regarding the AI drug repurposing technology which is usable in developing a COVID-19 medicine in BIONIFO ’20.
A drug repurposing method using AI and BI is to derive a new use of an approved medicine by analyzing a medicine and disease-related information by AI (artificial intelligence) and BI (bioinformatics), thereby prospecting to provide the information of the drug repurposing technology to promptly develop a therapeutic medicine against a new virus including COVID-19, etc.
As a result of the patent analysis, eleven (11) central patents have been found by specific techniques of drug repurposing. The information of the relevant patents and theses and the cases applying to COVID-19, etc. will be provided in the information network form.
The most patent applications relate to an ‘approach based on gene expression profiles’ among the detailed technical fields. In addition, the recent cases have been confirmed, where the aforementioned approach and a ‘target-centric approach’ to search a drug for repurposing based on the disease-related protein information have been applied in developing a drug for repurposing for the COVID-19 treatment.
KIPO plans to provide the researchers of the industry-university-institute collaboration with the analysis results by loading the results in the webpage of COVID-19 patent information navigation (www.kipo.go.kr/ncov) and the bulletin board of KSBI (www.ksbi.or.kr).
2. The special judicial police of KIPO arrested four (4) people of the family distributing counterfeit products by using an SNS live broadcasting
-The four (4) people are suspected of distribution of about 26,000 counterfeit products corresponding to the genuine market value of 625 billion Korea Won.
-The number of new counterfeit product distribution cases has rapidly increased through SNS including Instagram, etc.
On August 13, 2020, the IP (intellectual Property) special judicial police under KIPO announced that they arrested four (4) people of the family advertising and distributing counterfeit products through the SNS live broadcasting including Instagram and sent the case to the public prosecutor’s office.
These people are suspected of shipping work in a secret work place disguised as a home from June 2018 to November 2019 and distribution of about 26,000 foreign luxury counterfeit products including Chanel bags, etc. (corresponding to the genuine market value of 625 billion Korea Won) through the SNS channels.
While the special judicial police have paid attention to cases of online distributing counterfeit products through SNS, etc., which have rapidly increased in number, and focused the investigation on those cases, it has uncovered a crime of the family by searching for seizure the suspects and their secret work place through a long-time tracking and monitoring of about one year and eight months.
The special judicial police confiscated 1,111 counterfeit products (corresponding to the genuine market value of 24 billion Korea Won) including fake Chanel bags, etc. which were in storage and secured the distribution specification of about 26,000 counterfeit products (corresponding to the genuine market value of 625 billion Korea Won).
3. The retention period of a design right has steadily increased by 1.8 years compared with 2010
-The increase in the retention period is influenced by the expansion of a deisgn industrial scale.
-The retention period of a design right in a non-face to face industrial field is expected to lengthen.
As the importance and commercial use of a design right has gradually increased, an individual’s or a company’s retention period of a design right has become longer.
According to KIPO, the owner of a design right holds the right for 6.9 year on average. This is longer by 1.8 years compared with an average retention period of 5.1 years in 2010, recording the longest period ever as a result of analyzing 26,542 design rights expired in 2019.
Upon reviewing the retention periods of the design rights expired in 2019 by sections, the cases where the right was owned for a long-time of 10 years or more were 19.6% of the total cases, the cases where the right was owned for more than 3 years but less than 10 years were 41.5% and the cases where the right was owned for a short time of 3 years or less were 30.1%.
Compared with 2010, the rate of the rights held for a long time of 10 years or more increased by 3.8 times (from 5.2% in 2010 to 19.6% in 2019); whereas, the rate of the rights lapsed within 3 years decreased by 0.7 times (from 41.8% in 2010 to 30.1% in 2019).
By applicants, a public company held the right for the longest time as 14.4 years, a big company for 7.1 years, a small/medium company for 7 years, and an individual and a university for 6.2 years.
The retention period of a right by a big company increased by 2.5 years and that of a right by a small/medium company increased by 1.9 years, compared to 10 years ago. Even though it was a considerable cost for holding a design right, the fact that the retention periods by big and small/medium companies sharply increased is considered as a positive signal to the Korean economy and design industry.
Since this ultimately means that the economic value of a design has increased, companies’ tendency to early register and own design rights have become stronger.
4. KIPO published a book, ‘technology and patent trends in shipbuilding’
- This book is focused on ‘IMO environmental regulation’ and ‘smartification of shipbuilding industry’
KIPO published the book, ‘technology and patent trends in shipbuilding’ which introduces the latest technology and patent trends in the shipbuilding field, to support the technology development and the patent strategical establishment in the shipbuilding industry.
Focused on the ‘environmental regulations of IMO (International Maritime Organization)’ and the ‘smartification of the shipbuilding industry’, this book is formed to make it possible to three-dimensionally understand the latest technology and patent trends in the shipbuilding industry.
Specially, this book is characterized in introducing the industrial technology trends, patent trends, patent analysis and the relevant major patents, etc. in the shipbuilding field, by using a diversity of data and graphs, etc., to improve the understanding of the reader.
Those in charge of patent departments of Korean large shipbuilders expressed their expectation that the publication of this book would be of a lot of help to the field practitioners in widely understating the latest technology trends and patent trends simultaneously.
The book, ‘technology and patent trends in shipbuilding’, will be distributed to Korean large shipbuilding companies, an association, society, institute relating to a naval architect, and a shipbuilding-related department of each university. In addition to the book, anyone can directly download its PDF file through the ‘patent for shipbuilding and marine engineering (shippatent)’ on Facebook and the bulletin board of KIPO (www.kipo.go.kr).
