As a legal partner helping innovative technology companies grow, we at Thessen International Patent & Law Firm consistently share our expertise and experience.

As part of this effort, our Managing Partner, Park Sung-joon, was invited to speak at an IPO seminar at Sogang University's Graduate School of Business (MBA), one of Korea's top business schools.

This seminar was a significant event attended by key players in the Korean capital market, including corporate executives, securities analysts, and venture capital investors. Managing Partner, Park, shared in-depth insights on the crucial and timely topic of "Technology Special Listing and Intellectual Property (IP) Management."

Why is IP Management Key to the "Technology Special Listing"?

The Technology Special Listing is a system that evaluates the "technology value" of a company, rather than immediate financial performance, and grants the opportunity to list on the KOSDAQ market. So, what demonstrates this "technology value"? A robust intellectual property (IP) portfolio, including patents.

Therefore, for technology companies, IP management is no longer simply a legal matter. It is a core management strategy for a successful IPO and the most objective way to demonstrate corporate value to investors.
