As industries using deep tech technologies develop, the importance of patents is increasingly emphasized, and it is predicted that interest in inventions will increase and the possibility of using the best patent platform will increase.

B. Steady increase of the number of domestic technology transfers from 2017 to 2021

As the number of technology transfers in Korea is also steadily increasing, the technology transfer market can be expected to grow. However, at the same time, the number of technology transfers is 15,000, which is still insufficient compared to the size of the Korean industry, so it is judged that a big opportunity to activate technology transfers is needed.

The best pattern platform will make it easier to transfer variable forms of technology by utilizing tokens and blockchains, which will bring great positive changes to the technology transfer ecosystem at home and abroad.
