『(Former) Patent Law Firm Donghang → (Current) Patent Law Firm Elves』

Hello,
This is Patent Law Firm ELPS, dedicated to doing our best for our clients' success.

December 20, 2022, was a special day for us at Patent Law Firm ELPS.
It's the day we were newly designated as an "Industrial Property Diagnosis Institution" by the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

An Industrial Property Diagnosis Institution is an organization that conducts tasks such as patent research
and analysis to provide services related to research and development strategies, strategies for creating outstanding patents, and more.

To be selected as one, certain requirements need to be met:

Expert personnel in various technical fields.
Specialized facilities and equipment for the tasks.
A secure system and infrastructure.
Evaluation by field inspection regarding the specific requirements for designation.
Final determination by the Industrial Property Diagnosis Institution Designation Review Committee.
Now, you might wonder, what are the benefits of being designated as an Industrial Property Diagnosis Institution?

Firstly, as a designated institution, we are registered in the Korean Intellectual Property Office's pool of institutions for patent research and analysis.
This significantly streamlines the application process for support programs related to patent research and analysis,
ncluding the IP-R&D Strategy Support Program, which is conducted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

Moreover, going forward, businesses, universities, and public entities can utilize institutions like us, an Industrial Property Diagnosis Institution,
whenever they require patent research and analysis during their research and development processes.

Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, there's an added benefit. According to the amended Enforcement Decree of the Special Tax Treatment Restriction Act,
SMEs can receive tax deductions for expenses incurred on patent research and analysis through an Industrial Property Diagnosis Institution.

So, if you're considering a patent law firm, how about partnering with ELPS?
We are recognized by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, have expert professionals, a specialized system, and even enjoy tax deduction benefits.

We'll be here with you every step of the way towards success. Thank you.
