Thus Government changed technology transfer act to deal with patent trust. It Expands the scope of eligible property in trust business to include IP rights. Before that Eligible property in trust business was limited cash, securities and real estate. Also KIAT(Korea Institute Advanced Technology) started management of trusted patents owned by University and Institutes. It is still uncertain how often IP trust scheme would be used in the future. However patent trust would more useful for companies to deal with patent related business. Trust could be useful tool for small and medium-sized companies or venture companies. It is desirable to bring up trustees specializing in IP.
