This regional circuit counseling is a collaborative project under the business agreement between the Public Patent Attorney Counseling Center and the Regional Intellectual Property Center (RIPC). It aims to bridge the IP (intellectual property) gap by allowing residents in areas with limited access to intellectual property resources to consult with patent attorneys by visiting their nearest regional center.

This counseling session has also been organized to assist local residents who face difficulties in creating and protecting intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks, and designs. Patent attorneys will provide one-on-one customized consulting services.

At the first round of counseling held in March, the Gyeongbuk Western Center conducted in-depth consultations for local small business owners and prospective entrepreneurs, offering practical solutions such as strategies for securing intellectual property rights for their ideas and responding to disputes, which received an enthusiastic response.

The counseling sessions will review the possibility of registering ideas and offer practical countermeasures and supplementary solutions for current intellectual property issues such as trademark similarities.

Counseling is operated by appointment, and any local resident, including prospective entrepreneurs and small business owners, is free to apply. Applications and related inquiries can be made by phone through the Gyeongbuk Western Intellectual Property Center.
