Korea: Free monitoring of Korean IP rights in KIPRIS

The Korean Patent Office (KIPO) has launched "Patent of my concern", a new service for monitoring Korean IP applications and registrations in the KIPRIS search system. Users can create a basic profile including IPC class and applicant name and retrieve a results list of new publications according to the profile on a daily or weekly basis. The service requires registration (free of charge) and is only available on KIPRIS's Korean language interface.

The EPO provides a step-by-step search guide for non-Korean speakers showing how use this new service.
