The 17th trilateral meeting of IP training institute heads, held Tuesday in Fukuoka, Japan, focuses on developing intellectual property talent and deepening education cooperation among the three countries.
South Korea, China and Japan are gathering to assess progress on a joint e-learning curriculum and explore new ways to cultivate intellectual property talent in the age of generative AI.
The International Intellectual Property Training Institute under Korea's Intellectual Property Office is attending the 17th Trilateral Meeting of IP Training Institute Heads on Tuesday at the Tenjin Business Center II in Fukuoka, Japan, to discuss how to develop IP talent and strengthen education cooperation among the three countries in the generative AI era.
The trilateral meeting, held in rotation among the three countries since 2010, serves as a forum for sharing each nation's IP education policies and operational experience, and for discussing cooperation on developing IP professionals.
This year's meeting centers on "developing IP talent in the generative AI era," with discussions covering how the rapid spread of AI technology is reshaping the IP education landscape and what competencies future professionals will need.
Participants will also share case studies on AI-assisted IP education and exchange notes on best practices, while exploring ways to systematically build the skills that IP professionals will require in the generative AI era. The three countries plan to strengthen the cooperative foundation needed to produce IP talent equipped with the expertise and practical capabilities demanded by a rapidly changing technological environment.
The meeting will also review progress on the joint trilateral e-learning curriculum proposed at last year's meeting and discuss how it can be put to use going forward.
Song Seong-heon, director of the International Intellectual Property Training Institute, said the rapid advancement of generative AI technology is making it increasingly important to train specialists and invest in education that can keep pace with changes in the IP field. "Through this meeting, we will share the educational experience and expertise of all three countries and continue to strengthen our education cooperation so that we can systematically develop the IP talent needed in the AI era," Song said.
