Meanwhile, if one have found a new use of material and suggest the condition how to express the new effect as to the new use, he can receive patent right as to new use of the material even though the material itself is publicly known. Use invention is very important category especially for protection of biotechnology and concern over pharmaceutical use invention has been escalating with rapid progress of life sciences. Generally, use invention can be described in the form of product or process invention. However, under the present patent practice of Korean Intellectual Property Office, pharmaceutical use invention should be described in the form of product invention, because medical procedure such as treatment method of human being can not be patented for the reason that requirement of industrial applicability is not met, even though it satisfies the requirements of novelty, inventive step and so on.

Through this article, the requirements for patent registration and the scope of protection of pharmaceutical use invention are studied for balanced and effective protection of that.
