President Kim Il Sung founded the State Invention Office on May 20, Juche 35 (1946), clearly indicating the road for it to follow and laying a firm foundation for intensifying the work for inventions and technical findings through his energetic guidance.

Leader Kim Jong Il wisely led the office to make a positive contribution to the development of the nation's science and technology.

Over the past 70 years, the office has developed into a state invention administrative organ equipped with a doctoral institute training experts in intellectual property, a well-organized system for examining and recording inventions and patents and a huge database for domestic and foreign inventions and patents under the leadership and warm care of the peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu. As a result, it has creditably discharged its revolutionary mission for stepping up the building of a sci-tech power.

A meeting took place on Thursday.
