Korea's patent management body said Monday (Jun 30) that it would develop and provide a system of electronic research notes for researchers and scientists by December this year. The proposed e-research note will be used to record both the procedure of and the results of research.

Advanced countries have been making efforts to encourage researchers to use e- research notes since this is also used as important evidence to prove the main discoverer of a finding, to verify who carried out research or the reason for license contract with a company.
