We at Pine IP Firm are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of our customized, intensive patent practice seminar, held exclusively for the brilliant researchers at KEPCO E&C.
Over the course of two days, from September 25th to 26th, 2025, we gathered at the Korean Patent Attorneys Association (KPAA) seminar room with the dedicated team from KEPCO E&C’s Digital Solution Research Institute. Our shared goal was simple yet crucial: to deepen their understanding of employee inventions and patent filing practices in the corporate R&D landscape, and to share practical strategies for turning their innovative ideas into robust intellectual property rights.
Here is a look back at what we covered during this dynamic two-day event.
The seminar kicked off on Thursday, September 25th, with insightful lectures led by our Managing Partner, Minho Kang. To emphasize the fundamental concepts and the undeniable importance of patents, the morning sessions focused on:
The highlight of the day was the afternoon’s two-hour intensive "Drafting Idea Specifications" session. Joined by Patent Attorneys Jaeyeol Jung and Jeongmin Yeo, Managing Partner Minho Kang led an in-depth, interactive discussion and hands-on practice based on the actual technologies the KEPCO E&C researchers are currently developing.
On Friday, September 26th, we dove straight into the mechanics of patent protection. We started by breaking down the core "Rules for Drafting Claims" before moving into highly specialized, field-specific case studies.
We analyzed best practices for claim drafting across several key tech sectors:
We didn't just lecture; we put the researchers to work. The hands-on claim drafting practice session was met with incredible enthusiasm, allowing the attendees to immediately apply what they had learned to real-world scenarios.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the researchers from KEPCO E&C’s Power Technology R&D Institute for bringing their energy, brilliant questions, and active participation to the seminar. You truly made the event shine.

We will continue to provide top-tier, practical legal services optimized for the R&D frontlines, ensuring that your innovative technologies are effectively protected and built into powerful IP portfolios.
