Program offers 490 energy patents, but technological challenges and competition pose risks
South Korea announced the release of 490 energy-related patents through its annual patent-sharing program on Monday, aiming to bolster the technological capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by offering them free access to unused patents held by public energy enterprises.
While this initiative offers significant opportunities for South Korean SMEs, they will likely continue to face considerable challenges in integrating these technologies and competing with larger firms.
