Over the next three years, each institutional operator is set to receive KRW 200-400million of technology commercialization funds per year.The Patent Gap Fund will support technology commercialization via patent verification, prototype product manufacturing, and technology marketing, etc. KIPO plans to operate the Fund in a sustainable manner – i.e., through reinvesting licensing fees into other promising technologies after collecting them from transferring technologies to businesses.Ajou University is separately pursuing its own program called "Ajou Gap Fund" as part of its industry-academia cooperation under the 2019 University Innovation Support Project. It is expected to create synergy with the KIPO Gap Fund.A total of 12 universities and research institutes applied for the KIPO Gap Fund Project this year.KIPO stated, "We expect that technology holding companies like N4U will create synergy by combining excellent patented technologies from universities," adding, "We will actively support the institutions that seek to market their collection of promising patents."N4U Tech Holding Inc. was established through a consortium of universities to create a virtuous circle in which the universities invest revenue from business activities back into education and research. It also seeks to maximize the achievements made from R&D and intellectual-property-based technology commercialization by partner universities through a subsidiary.
