At his question, Kim Yoon-sik, a patent attorney, put on a puzzled expression.
He seemed to have a higher position than that.
The middle-aged man was quick-witted.
he asked me
“Why don’t we just go into my office and talk a little bit instead of doing this here?”
I glanced at Han Gi-tak’s face.
It is a positive expression
I didn’t feel bad either.
“That’s right.”
We went into his office. It feels different from the room of patent attorney Kim Yoon-sik I just entered.
It is a spacious and comfortable office.
Representative Jang Ho-young, a patent attorney, stood out.
While we were drinking coffee, Patent Attorney Kim Yun-sik was sweating profusely and had to report progress to CEO Jang Ho-young.
Patent Attorney Kim Yun-sik explained the contents of the patent in detail.
CEO Jang Ho-young listened to the explanation and carefully examined the document.
After hearing the explanation, CEO Jang Ho-young stood up.
He came up to me and said,
“I think our staff made a mistake. First of all, I will apologize.”
CEO Jang Ho-young bowed his head and apologized.
he raised his head and said
“There is a way to get a patent quickly.”
Patents and Funding
Ho-Young Jang was a representative of ‘One-Stop Patent’ and a patent attorney with a splendid career.
He quietly dismissed Yun-sik Kim, a patent attorney who was in the office, and said.
“Patent Attorney Kim Yun-sik seems to have made a mistake because he still lacks experience.”
“You said there is a way to get a patent quickly, can you tell me what that method is?”
“Before I tell you how, I have to tell you about Kim Deok-myeong’s invention.”
CEO Jang Ho-young pointed to the documents he received from Patent Attorney Kim Yun-sik.
“Duk-myung Kim’s vertical cultivation seems like a really great invention. These are not word of mouth. I think it is an innovative idea that will lead high-tech agriculture.”
I quietly listened to him.
I wondered why he was praising him first.
“Depending on the level of the invention, the process for obtaining a patent also varies. Kim Deok-myeong’s invention seems to be of the highest level. At this level, you can request a ‘priority review’.”
“A review first?”
Patent Attorney Ho-Young Jang spoke about the examination first.
Generally, it takes a long time to get a patent. This is because the examination proceeds in the order in which the patent application is received.
There is a lot of waiting, so it takes at least a year. However, it could be shortened to three months by using the priority review system.
The ‘priority examination system’ is based on Article 61 of the Patent Act. This is because a third party may steal the invention without permission.
This is the case in which a company such as a plant factory steals technology without permission while waiting for a patent.
We were also subject to the priority review stipulated by the Presidential Decree. This is because the national defense industry or green technology is subject to priority review.
Patent Attorney Ho-Young Jang’s praise was not just the words of his mouth.
It was brought out because it applies to both cases.
“Mr. Deokmyung Kim’s invention may be considered for priority. If you are the subject of first examination, you can get a patent quickly.”
I looked at Han Gi-tak.
He, too, was listening to patent attorney Jang Ho-young.
“What do you think, senior?”
“I think it would be better to get the ‘priority review’ as the patent attorney said.”
I had the same thoughts as him.
“I will proceed with the patent as you said. Please deal with it.”
“There is one more thing I would like to ask. The document says that the verification of the invention has been completed, is that true?”
“yes. Verification of vertical cultivation has been completed.”
“You are wonderful. Then maybe we can shorten the period a little more.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My eyes flashed when I heard that there was a way to shorten the period further.
“There is a way to request the contents of the invention to a specialized agency and then submit the results to the Korean Intellectual Property Office.”
“Are you a professional organization?”
“Invention of vertical cultivation can be requested by the Rural Development Administration to investigate prior art.”
“I have experience working with the Rural Development Administration on salad containers.”
“It’s about the Antarctic project from the broadcast.”
I nodded my head lightly.
“We will take care of that. We will try to get a patent as soon as possible.”
“thank you.”
It’s time to finish talking and get up.
Patent Attorney Jang Ho-young asked cautiously.
“I’m talking about broadcasting, can I ask you a personal question?”
“You tell me.”
Patent Attorney Ho-Young Jang hesitated for a moment. It is a contrast to the one that has been pouring out words about patent work.
“Is what Kim Deok-myung said on the show is true?”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s about funding. I remember you said you were planning on funding to build a large-scale cultivation facility.”
“It is true. As you said, we plan to raise funds soon.”
“Can individuals participate?”
he asked cautiously.
“Yes, individual investors can also participate in the funding.”
When he answered in the affirmative, Patent Attorney Jang Ho-young’s expression brightened.
“I want to participate too.”
“Ah yes. Would you like to participate as a service?”
I asked with a smile.
“Never.”
he said waving his hand.
“Not as a service, but I am also interested in cutting-edge agriculture. I believe that the future of Korea depends on cutting-edge agriculture.”
I replied with a smile.
“After completing the domestic patent, we will start working on the international patent right away.”
Patent Attorney Ho-Young Jang said, bowing his head.
A person with good manners
It seemed to do the job neatly.

Now there was no problem with patents.

On the way back to Hadong, Han Ki-tak took the steering wheel.
His expression also looked relaxed.
“Honestly, I was a little worried. Other patent attorneys’ offices also said it would take time.”
“I didn’t know anything else, but I wanted to get a patent as soon as possible.”
“Of course. I also wanted to get a patent as soon as possible. Now we have funding left.”
Funding issues had to be taken care of.
Unlike patents, it is not a matter to be dealt with quickly.
Perfect preparation was required.
Together with Gi-tak Han, we chose Venture Crowd, a funding brokerage.
He sent the necessary documents and suggested a meeting with the company.
“Did you get a call from Venture Crowd?”
“I was going to talk about it anyway. Sooner or later, someone from the venture crowd will come to our office.”
“Did anyone say anyone was coming?”
“There was no such thing. Perhaps the person in charge?”
100 billion in funding.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
No matter how strong the venture crowd is in funding venture companies, it will be the first time on this scale.
From a venture crowd standpoint, we have a big hand.
At least the executive level was expected to visit.
* * *
A few days later, a person came from the venture crowd.
Two men in suits.
A man with glasses held out his hand.
He looked to be in his mid thirties.
He looked full of power in his stern impression.
“It is called the Venture Crowd representative engineering ceremony.”
“This is Kim Deok-myung. Let’s go to the conference room.”
The representative visited directly, not the executive level. I could see the attitude of the venture crowd towards this case.
I went into the conference room with Han Ki-tak.
Daesik Gong spoke first.
“I heard that a patent application is in progress.”
“We expect to get a patent in a few months.”
Things went faster than expected.
It has already completed the request for prior art research to the Rural Development Administration.
“I have reviewed the documents given by the farmers in Jirisan. The technology was great. I didn’t know that there was a company with this kind of technology among agricultural companies in Korea.”
“It is a word of exaltation.”
“It’s not an exaggeration, it’s the truth. We are honored to have given us this opportunity.”
The representative engineering ceremony of Venture Crowd is from a marketer.
A person who knows how to deal with business partners.
“Funding of 10 billion won is a big business that our company is also conducting for the first time. We will do everything we can to make this happen.”
“I still have something I want to ask you.”
“May I know what’s going on?”
“It is difficult to say right now. We will tell you after detailed discussion.”
“Can I know what part it is, if not the details?”
“It’s about strategies to promote the funding to the public.”
“If it’s a fundraising promotion, leave it to us… … .”
“Once the contents are confirmed, there will be some work for the venture crowd to help.”
“Think about your marketing strategy in advance. That’s great. So, how is the schedule going?”
“I’m thinking about a month from now.”
“There is still some time. So, can I devise a marketing strategy for the venture crowd during that time?”
I stared at the face of Daesik Daeshik.
I wondered what he was thinking.
“I understand that you plan to recruit young farmers at the same time as funding. I thought that the CEO considers recruiting young farmers as important as funding. Am I right?”
“You saw it right.”
“I felt that recruiting young farmers was also a major pillar of this project. Why not leave it to us to recruit young farmers?”
It’s a suggestion I hadn’t thought of. This is because Venture Crowd receives commissions only when the target amount is achieved.
For them, recruiting young farmers is an additional task.

Nevertheless, I had a good feeling that I was going to walk away.
“May I know the reason?”
“Do you need a special reason?”
“no. I’m just curious. For the venture crowd, there is one more thing that never happened.”
“I don’t think there’s anything more to come.”
Daeshik Engineering said while raising the glasses frame.
“So far, we have successfully funded numerous venture companies. None of them were agricultural ventures. To be honest, the farmers in Jirisan are the first. The first agricultural venture was commissioned for the largest amount of funding. I want to make this fundraising a success. Because I believe that if the Jirisan farmers succeed, second and third Jirisan farmers will be born.”
“Thank you for thinking that way.”
I liked his way of thinking.
Any company that will succeed is different no matter what.
I wanted to keep a good relationship in the future.
After the meeting, Daeshik Engineering held out his hand.
“I don’t know what you are asking, but please tell me.”
“Yes, we will contact you as soon as it is decided.”
CEO Dae-Sik Engineering left, and Ki-Tak Han asked with a curious face.
“What would you like to ask Venture Crowd?”
“I’m looking for a place.”
“Recruiting a place?”
* * *
After lunch, I called Han Ki-tak and Baek Min-seok.
“I have a place to go with me in a little while.”
“Where else are you going?”
Baek Min-seok asked quietly.
“To go from a hydroponics plant.”
“Is the verification over? They are now growing salads there.”
As Han Ki-tak said, the verification is over.
The refrigerated warehouse was reborn as a vertical cultivation facility.
Engineers went and Min Yo-han, Lee Jang-woo, and Lee Dong-chun were guarding the facility.
“I’m not going to verify, I have something to discuss there.”
“What else are you planning?”
Han Ki-tak said with a smile.
“I’m trying to come up with a fundraising strategy.”
It’s a story we’ll all get together.
Together we headed to the cultivation facility.
Unlike before, the cultivation facility has a complementary system installed.
This is to prevent technology leakage to the outside.
It was monitored 24 hours a day by a supplement company.
The door opened when the security card was placed on the sensor.
The vertical cultivation facility was astonishing every time I saw it.
The layered planting facilities gave people a sense of awe.
Just then, water spewed out of the nozzle.
The liquid that spewed out like a mist was sprayed onto the roots of the crop.
“What’s up? Are all the shabby people together in such a precious place?”
Jang-Woo Lee approached us and threw a pong.
Thanks to that, everyone laughed.
“We have something to discuss together.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han, who was checking the system, turned his head.
“Anything important?”
“Yes, it is very important.”
Lee Dong-chun, who was far away, responded to the word that it was important.
He ran back and asked.
“Is it important?”
Lee Dong-chun shone like a star.
Six people gathered: Han Ki-tak, Baek Min-seok, Min Yo-han, Lee Jang-woo, and Lee Dong-chun.
They are all people who started hydroponics together.
There was something I wanted to discuss with them head-to-head.
“I plan to build a new hydroponic plant.”
“A new hydroponic plant?”
Lee Jang-woo tilted his head and asked.
