Juneho Jang, WIPO
Patent information has become a strategic tool for businesses for various stakeholders, including business strategists, corporate managers, financial analysts and the small and medium-sized enterprises.

Studying technical information may help to predict the success or failure of a new product under development.
This session reviews the context of patent information in the global economy and discusses the nature of the valuable data that can be accessed through patent information systems and how to make best use of it to realise economic and commercial benefits. In addition, WIPO’s patent information products and services will also be addressed.
