Korean designs add depth, animation on the way

IP Frontline's IPMT News magazine reports that KIPO, the Korean Patent Office, is now accepting CAD filings, so that users can upload a true 3D representation of a design. Apparently there has been a good takeup - 1.4% overall were filed this way, with the civil construction industry being big users. It will be possible to file movie animations using Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) from April.
