MoCI signs strategic partnership programme with KIPO
Tribune News Network Doha The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has signed a strategic partnership programme with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), representing a significant milestone in the development of Qatar's National Intellectual Property Strategy and the enhancement of institutional and human capacities in this key domain. The agreement was signed by Mohammed bin Hassan Al-Malki, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and Wan Ki Kim, Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The partnership stems from the Memorandum of Understanding on Intellectual Property signed between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Korea on 15 June 2023 in Seoul. The memo laid the groundwork for comprehensive bilateral cooperation in the field of intellectual property, and the newly signed programme represents a concrete step forward in its implementation. The programme is designed to support the formulation of an integrated national strategy for intellectual property in the State of Qatar. It also aims to implement a range of advanced initiatives to strengthen both institutional structures and human capital, thereby contributing to the country's shift towards an innovation-driven economy and supporting the evolution of legal and regulatory frameworks. Under the programme, both parties will collaborate in several priority areas. These include the development of human resources in Qatar's intellectual property ecosystem, benchmarking local practices against global standards, and conducting stakeholder consultations to identify the most suitable intellectual property systems for national needs. The programme will also facilitate the transfer of knowledge and expertise from the Korean side, with a focus on building the technical competencies of Qatari professionals working in this vital field. The Ministry and KIPO will jointly monitor and assess the progress of the programme to ensure the achievement of its objectives and to deepen cooperation between the two countries in the domain of intellectual property.

S. Korea to provide 'all-out' support to export firms amid global trade uncertainties: ministry
The government will join hands with export-related agencies to provide "all-out" support to South Korean companies in export business, the industry ministry said Wednesday. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy held a joint conference in Seoul with various export-related agencies, including the Korea Customs Service, the Korean Intellectual Property Office and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, on a comprehensive support package for export companies amid heightened global trade uncertainties, according to ministry officials. In the conference, the ministry and related agencies showcased the comprehensive support package, which includes an emergency system to help companies respond to tariff issues, consultations on business strategy and various other support measures. The government has devised support measures ranging from export vouchers for small and medium-sized enterprises to the largest-ever trade financing scheme, worth 366 trillion won ($249.9 billion), to help local businesses respond to major economies' protectionist trade policies. "Even amid shifts in market conditions, South Korean companies will be able to have new export opportunities with competitive technologies and differentiated strategies," Industry Minister Ahn Duk-geun said during his visit to the conference, vowing to work to keep expanding support measures for export firms. Kang Kyung-sung, president and CEO of KOTRA, said it will put in "all-out" efforts to support exports of Korean companies by "actively collaborating with export-related agencies and utilizing its domestic and overseas network."
