In simple English
This tool lets an artificial intelligence search official Korean intellectual property databases. You can look up patents, trademarks, utility models and industrial designs directly from chat. It connects to the KIPRIS service operated by the Korean Intellectual Property Office. You need your own free API key from their website to use it regularly. The system handles pagination, caching and request limits automatically.
What it is
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server written in TypeScript that wraps the KIPRIS Plus open API. It exposes seven distinct search and detail tools for patents, trademarks and designs.
What it is good for
Solo builders and researchers who need to check Korean patent filings, search registered trademarks or verify prior art without opening the official web portal.
- Provides seven ready-to-use search and detail tools for Korean IP.
- Supports both local command-line use and cloud deployment via HTTP.
- Includes built-in protection against model hallucinations when searches return empty.
- Requires a KIPRIS Plus API key and manual service activation for each domain.
- Documentation and API responses are primarily in Korean.
- Free public shared quotas are very small and run out quickly.
