SEOUL, South Korea,
Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Korea Invention Promotion Association (KIPA) today announced that
the Seoul International Invention Fair 2012, which was held
Nov. 29-Dec. 2 in COEX Hall A in the
Republic of Korea, was so successful that it has become one of the
world's largest international invention fairs.
Despite its short history, Seoul International Invention Fair,
which celebrated its 8th anniversary this year, hosted
approximately 700 new-generation inventions, new products and
technology from 32 different countries including USA, Russia
and Taiwan, attracting visitors
from all over the world.
The grand prize winner of this year's Seoul International
Invention Fair was Min-chi Chung and his five co-inventors from
Taiwan who developed an Extraction
Device for Different Phases and Polar Ingredients. This invention
is used for concentrating essential fat and water-soluble
substances. HYUNDAI MOBIS Co., Ltd. won the semi-grand prize by
presenting its invention, Car Flap Control System and Its Methods
of Control. Installed in the front of the vehicle, this invention
not only controls the flap which controls the quantity of air
flowing into the radiator but also prevents overheating the
engine. Among other semi-grand prize winners were: 9 more inventors
and companies including Lee Sang-min
(Mini Hand Held Electric Driver Using Decelerator) and Hansung Food
Co., Ltd. (Method of Making Low-Sodium Broccoli), etc.
Apart from the exhibition and publicity of inventions, the Seoul
International Invention Fair 2012 has also organized the business
matchmaking pavilion for domestic and foreign buyers in order to
promote business activities. Many well-known global buyers have
participated in this year's program such as Korea's major
department stores and biggest on-line shopping malls, 'taobao.com'
(the largest Internet auction site in the Asia-Pacific), Rakuten (the largest on-line
shopping mall in Japan), e-Bay,
and Amazon.
This year, the invention fair played a very special role as it
was held along with the Korea Invention Patent Exhibition 2012, and
2012 Trademark-Design Right Exhibition. It was a huge international
exchange venue where various information about intellectual
property such as invention, design and patent were all shared at
the same time and place to a greater extent than which has
ever occurred anywhere in the world.
