Introduction
We live in an era of intellectual property hegemony where wars, though without actual guns, are fought
every day around the world. We are now witnessing a full-fledged transition from the era of ‘Geopolitics’,
in which international relations and hierarchies are divided according to geographical location, to the start
of the era of ‘Techpolitics’, in which technological superiority determines international politics.
In the midst of this phenomenon this year, Korea is facing an important turning point in the process of
becoming an intellectual property powerhouse. Digital intellectual property, which transcends borders and
ideologies, is presenting new intellectual property governance to the global economy. New areas of work
are arising, and existing operations now require greater sophistication and efficiency. Therefore, global
industrial competitiveness is expected to be determined in the field of digital intellectual property such as
big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The task of overcoming this transformation wave of digital intellectual
property will be crucial for Korea to secure technological hegemony and become a global intellectual
property powerhouse in the future.
In particular, Korea, a member of the "IP5," a global intellectual property community in advanced countries
including U.S., China, Japan and Europe, is expected to be tested on whether it has taken the leap forward
regarding the strengthening of intellectual property capacity to promote innovative growth in the future.
In the future competition between global countries, success or failure is expected to depend on which country
manages digital intellectual property properly.
The Financial News and the Korean Intellectual Property Office will hold the 12th International Intellectual
Property Protection Conference on June 9, 2022 (Thursday) at the Grand Ballroom on the 1st floor of the
Westin Josun Hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul. Scholars all around the world gathers together to discuss the
topic of “A Leading Nation in Science and Technology, Asking for the Path of Intellectual Property”.
The event will be a great opportunity to check the scholars' opinions on methods to protect digital intellectual
property, such as AI and big data, and the utilization of new intellectual property fields.
