Technology disclosure significantly contributes to the national industry by saving time and costs for citizens and companies through defensive disclosure, preventing others from exercising patent rights through prompt disclosure, securing technological leadership, and promoting industrial technology development by allowing others to freely use disclosed technologies. Additionally, immediate publication enables early identification and utilization of technological trends, and reduces social costs associated with redundant research and development. Moreover, the ability to apply for a novelty grace period within 12 months of disclosure provides an advantage for companies to utilize it as part of their intellectual property strategy. Therefore, activating Korea's Internet Technology Disclosure is of great significance. This study, primarily based on literature review and data analysis, conducted a comparative study of Korea's Internet Technology Disclosure and Japan's more established Journal of Technology Disclosure. First, it compared the institutional and operational aspects of Korea's Internet Technology Disclosure and Journal of Technology Disclosure. Second, it conducted a comparative analysis of the technological aspects, focusing on the distribution of technologies based on patent classification. As a result of the comparative study, several considerations and implications for activating Korea's Internet Technology Disclosure were derived.
